Thought I would put the corks to good use. I still have to experiment a little, but here is a pic of the start of this project. I have to start drinking a lot more wine lol 
Corks for perches

I love corks the leftover smell is nice and aromatic just make sure to soak /rinse them so when you spray the enclosure the leftover wine isn't enjoyed by your little friends :lol:
Its great Idea though! +1 but if you wanted to get more use and so they can't get stuck behind it....you can cut the cork in half (vertically so you get 2 nice semi circles). You can attach the flat side of the long semi circle cork to the container and still get 2 nice perches
All the best,
Andrew

I sometimes use cork roll which comes in sheets. You can get it at the craft store. I like to cover a wall of an enclosure with it. You could also cut it into strips or any other shape you want. For nymphs you can leave the strips loose and bend them into arches.

Coat with adhesive and roll in vermiculite. I haven't done it with beer bottles per se but PVC pipe
step 1: take the beer bottles, drain them wherever (train, toilet, neighbor's cat's water bowl, your stomach...) and rinse them clean. remove labels, adhesives, and caps
step 2: place all bottles in a large bin
step 3: take a large 50 pound weight and drop it in the bin, lifting it back out and dropping again repetitively
step 4: spray with that stringy stuff kids like to vandalize things with and cut into desired shapes
i'm just joking abt all this but it may work
