If for the hallway or balcony, then the simplest one on a woven base will do. Now take the corks and cut each one in half exactly lengthwise with a knife. Then take the glue and gradually begin to glue the halves of the corks to the base with the cut side down. Place the corks tightly against each other, do not leave gaps. You can simply glue them in rows, or you can come up with a pattern and lay out the corks according to the desired pattern.
Another option would be a rug made from solid wood.corks. You don't need a base for this, just take a cork and push a thick wire through it, gradually collecting the rug like beads. After you have collected the cork beads, bend the wire to the desired length of the rug and lay the rug on the floor like a snake. Fasten each row together in several places on the back side. So, your rug is ready! It is not only original, but also comfortable. The cork is soft enough and it is pleasant and useful to step on the rug.
