ReMake It! kit turns wine corks into trivet

Tiffany Threadgould’s “RePlayGround” sells three fun “ReMake It!” kits that let you turn trash into stuff you can use: there’s a Magazine Stationary kit that gives you stickers and templates to turn glossy mags into envelopes and postcards ($5); a Wine Cork Trivet [pictured] for $13, perfect for keeping hot plates off the counter; and the $40 Bottle Lamp, designed to turn six soda or beer bottles into a kitschy tabletop light.

   I’m all for anything that I can casually keep around my house to ensure that my guests know just how much booze I drink.
