Question: How do you soften wine corks?
Option 0: Place corks in a steamer pan or metal colander and let them boil for about 15 minutes.    Remove the cork with care- it will be hot- and place on a cutting board.    Use a serrated knife or, preferably, a hacksaw to cut the cork in half, slices, or designs.
