Looking to be inspired for Valentine's Day? With a Your Home magazine subscription, you can find out how to create a gift using corks.
You'll need to get through a few bottles of wine over the next week or so to get enough natural stoppers to help you out and you'll ideally need a glue gun, with heat-resistant sticky stuff.
Your Home magazine advises first mapping out the size and shape of the heart you want to create using a piece of paper. The one in the magazine took 83 corks to create.
Then arrange all the corks on the template, ensuring they're all standing upright.
Your Home magazine suggests "you can mix and match the staining of the corks to create a unique design".
Then it tells you to use the glue to stick all the corks together in the heart shape. It needs to dry properly before you can give it to your loved one.
"Gift wrap for a truly personal gift, attach a hook at the back to create a unique piece of wall art or make a beautiful heat-resistant centrepiece for your dining table," Your Home magazine suggests.
If you're going to have to get your corks by consuming wine, remember Drink Aware advises women only to consume two to three alcohol units per day.
