Thanks to Danny Seo



Thanks to Danny Seo for giving me a great idea ! For using wine corks for making hot pot stands to place on our dinning room table or make as great gifts! Also I would like to thank some of my friends for helping me make this a lot faster I used 58 wine corks and went to Canadian Tire to buy the Metal cramp that was $1.79 i used a 6" clamp it was real easy to make.


I opened the clamp and started to put all the corks inside of the clamp. Then I asked my hubby to help me tighten the clamp to hold all the corks together and now its a hot pot stand works great and its save the table from getting hot. Some of you might be saying Who Danny Seo? Well he is a great guy I first heard about him from a show called She's crafty its on HGTV The Host Wendy Russell had Danny Seo as her Special guest on her show back in June 07 Danny is a Eco- stylist.

I had to take all the Bamboo shoots out of the tank. Unfortunetly they looked really good but they held all the grim and cereated alot of bateria build-up, the tank always seemed cloudy and hazey. I put the Bamboo into a vase. Now my tank looks very bare, I will now have to go out and buy some more plants to make the tank look full. Oh well nothing ventured, nothing gained.I think I will try some pieces of wood to give some character to the tank. we will see how things will work. I will keep you posted.
