Awesome… and without soldering… only with my usual tools.
Only, the champagne I usually buy has plastic caps.

For years I have been twisting/turning/cajoling the Champagne cork holder and athingamabob into… well… wretched refuse. Thanks for this very ‘green’ tip. Off to toast the New Year and make another chair!

Wonderful. I’m going to start drinking tonight!
You make the refuse…and everything else…just a little less wretched every day!
Thank you, Tamara

I’ve been saving corks and wire cages for some time now, not knowing exactly what to do with them. Now I know what to do, thanks to you. I love the little chairs. I’ll make a table out of the cork to sit between two chairs. What fun!
