Abstract
A method of interconnecting multiple bottle cork closure elements to form a variety of useful integrated constructions. The method uses one or more string strands of flexible yielding material to be passed through custom configured passageways within each cork in continuous pass through patterns defined by similar and varied passageways in adjacent abutting corks. The interconnecting pattern path of the strands defines intermediate points of applied tension and selective securing in a defined assembly step process to form the respective article of construction.
