Where did you find corks to fit the bulbs? All th bulbs Ive come across, the top holes are too small for a standard wine cork. Can you post a list of suppliers?

Hi! We actually purchased the largest bulbs we could find at Hobby Lobby, and the corks were all from our little collection. We had to weed through them to get the correct size, but with a large bulb many corks should fit.
