You can put decorative flowerpots on it for an herb garden in your kitchen or display your favorite ornaments on it. The garden bench will look great in your patio garden or sitting beside an indoor fountain.

  • Step 2: Glue 6 corks side to side to make the seat of the bench.
  • Step 3: Glue 3 corks end to end . Repeat once. Then glue one set of three to front side of bench seat from step 2.
  • Step 4: Find 4 corks the same size and shape and glue underneath four corners of seat. Now, you have the legs in place.
  • Step 5: Take your cut corks from step 1 and start gluing the cut side, tops of them to right hand corner of bench seat. Glue them side-by-side until they go all the way around the back and end up on left hand front of bench seat. This makes the bench skirting. (See picture.)
