Vintage Trophy Wine Stoppers
We spotted these sporty toppers at out Country Living Fair in Columbus, Ohio — then persuaded vendor Shannon Vance, of Stash Style, to share how she and pal Robin Sweeney created them.
First, use a drill to make a 1/8-inch-wide hole halfway down into a new cork ($3.99 for 30; winemakingsuperstore.com). Next, twist off the top of a vintage trophy (typically a few bucks each at thrift shops and garage sales). Apply superglue to the underside of the trophy top's base and the screw that extends from it. Insert the screw into the cork and twist the pieces together until flush and a tight bond forms. Allow one hour of drying time before using your prize design.
