You may have a few wine corks leftover from this weekend’s festivities. If you’re in need of a project (aren’t we all?), you might want to consider a “corkxedo.”

These wine corks are drilled, reinforced, and strung together: The Corkxedo was created by Los Angeles wine lover Dave Hamilton who spent around ten months putting together a top hat, cane and jacket with tails that are all made of whole corks drilled, reinforced and woven and knotted with nylon twine. The set contains the corks of more than 240 wineries and the oldest cork is a 1935 Chateau Lynch-Bages.

Anyone want to make a corkcycle? I’ll wear the ritz underneath a corkxedo and pick up my date on a bicycle built for two. I’m up for it.
