MacGyver Challenge: Hack Something With a Wine Cork

Hello, fellow Lifehackers! Time for another MacGyver Challenge. What's a MacGyver Challenge, you ask? Simple. We give you an object and you show us what cool things you can do with it. Our editors pick the best submissions and our favorite will win an autographed copy of the Lifehacker book!

Ready? Yes. You were born that way.

This Week's MacGyver Challenge: Hack Something With a Wine Cork

If you drink wine, chances are you have a lot of wine corks stashed somewhere. Those little things are hard to throw away for some reason. Perhaps it's because you knew that someday, somehow, we'd challenge you to use them to create something wonderful. We've shown you several things you can do with the humble wine cork. You can turn them into plant markers, make an interesting shower mat, and even repurpose them as place card holders.

Now, it's your turn. Share your best hack using a wine cork. Your hack can use other materials, of course, but the wine cork should be the defining element. Send us pictures and a description of your hack and feel free to annotate your photos if you need to. And don't be afraid to get creative!

How to Submit Your Entry

Make sure to follow these instructions when you submit your entry:

• Post your entry below or send it to challenge@lifehacker.com with the subject MacGyver Challenge: Wine Cork. If you post your entry below and need to include more than one image, just reply to your own comment or host your extra pics on a free, quick image-hosting site like imgur and link out to your gallery.
• We will accept entries up through Sunday night, February 10 at 11:59pm Pacific Standard Time
• We will showcase the best submissions and announce our favorite on Monday, February 11.

So grab that leather flight jacket, comb your mullet, and start channeling those MacGyver vibes. Here's a little theme music to put you in the mood. And don't forget to check back every week for a new challenge. We'll be alternating between Hacker Challenges and MacGyver Challenges.
