Wine Cork Bulletin

I've seen a ton of Wine Cork projects on the internet but never really found any that I was like "OMG I have to make this!!!" until I found this on pinterest from http://4.bp.blogspot.com but of course only a pic no instructions. . .

What you need:
-3 foot long 1in think board
-Wine Corks
-Hot glue and hot glue gun
-Something to use as a hanger (wire, ribbon, sting, etc)

I started my search at Home Depot thinking that a wooden ruler would be the best thing to glue the corks onto but apparently wooden rulers aren't sold anymore and they are now all metal and that wasn't going to work

Wandering around the store with Eddie I did however find something the same shape and size and a ruler (basically a wooden dowel but flat) in the random wood department near fence supplies and woot woot was 55 cents!!!

Took that home plugs in my hot glue gun and grabbed my corks and got to work gluing them to the board


Everything was going good until I was getting to the top and realized I needed something so I could hang this thing. I found some thin metal wire that I used but really you can use almost anything. I thought the best way to get it to stick and not fall off was to stick it under the corks rather than on the back side down so about 5 corks from the top I glued down the wire and made a hanging loop at the top


Finished up by gluing the remaining cork on top of the wire and here is the finished product hung and ready for some push pins and stuff to hang on it

Copy Cat - Wingers Rebel Sauce

Image
Since getting a fryer as a wedding present - Fried Naked Wings have definitely made their place into our favorite dinner/party foods. Here in Utah we have a restaurant called Wingers that has one of the best sweet, sticky, spicy sauces that we have ever tried. Wingers does sell their original sauce at the various grocery stores in the area but being the spice lovers that we are we prefer it a little bit spicier (AKA Rebel sauce at the restaurant) which is not sold in stores. However thanks to Pinterest I have found a few copy cat recipes on  Chef in Training  and  Six Sisters Stuff  that feature the original recipe and have adjusted them into a spicier version. Copy Cat Wingers Rebel Sauce Ingredients: 1/2 cup Frank's Red Hot Original Hot Sauce 1 cup Brown Sugar Directions: 1) On low heat brown sugar and hot sauce until combined 2) Heat on Medium for about 5 minutes to thicken the sauce NOTES: According to both recipes you need to use Frank's Hot Sauce to get th
