Here is something new! How to carve champagne cork into your favolite charactor!

 Do you like drinking champagne?

If so, you can use the cork for the new hobby.

You can cut into a charactor that you like!!

This time, I cut, carve, connect and burn then made a darth vader.

Here is how to carve champagne cork with video.

Basically, it is simple like a vegetable carving...but cork is very solid and hard,so I strongly recommend to use groves for protect your hands.

Cut and connect with bond....

Then burned him. You can use color pen or paint set but I chose this way.

There are 2 reasons.

1, I like wood burnning.

2, Darth Vader was born from Mustafa's flames.

I already made some other few friends.
