TIP: Cork enlargement

For stone imitation on bases I prefer to use vine and champagne corks. After x-mas and New Year celebrations you definitely have some.

Did you know that regular champagne cork is bigger that it is? Let's enlarge!

1) Take corks;
2) Put corks in boiling water;

3) Boil them for 10-15 min;
4) ....
5) PROFIT!!!

So what you get?! Bigger round shaped cork.
See picture below, left cork before boiling, right same size and shape cork after 10 min boiling.
