Cait Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 My pine cones are from walking in the woods, corks from the local hotel and the cotton reels from my nan's old sewing basket! Not much help to you, but could you put an appeal out to parents? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marion Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Wooden-Spools-%2f-Em...5931f83ffe3f345 My OH bravely suffered for the corks and pine cones from walks and craft schops Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 Scrap store for corks, pine cones from walks in the woods. If you have a shop that does repairs ask for cotton reels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 It's not much help but I have just come back from Portugal and we have the most wonderful cork oaks out there. These are the trees that they make corks from, you can literally lift off sections of the bark and then the tree renews these. The trees are a protected species and very slow growing. They say that you plant vines for yourself, olives for your children, and cork oaks for your grandchildren. Must bring some cork back for preschool next time we go over there!

Stargrower Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 We asked our local WI to save us things like buttons, ribbon, corks etc and we were absolutely inundated! We share our premises so see them and other groups fairly regularly. Its definitely worth asking. Beehive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
