DIY Wine Charms

  - DIY Gift Idea - After the DIY chalk board wine glass project many still requested how to make wine charms. I decided to try and make some and found them to be quite easy to put together and a nice hostess gift idea too. Here's how to make your own:

What You Will Need:
- Beading or fine gauge wire
- An assortment of charms
- Beads
- Pliers and wire cutters

How To Do It:
1) Wire, commonly found in the beading section of most craft stores, that is already in a coil makes things so much easier because quite often it's already the perfect size. Here my finished circle measures about 1 and 3/4 across. Cut it with wire cutters so that the ends overlap one another slightly.

2) Add the beads and a charm in the center. Some of mine have different bead colors and other a unique charm so each guest will know it's their glass.

3) Then using the pliers, bend each end of the wire back on themselves to form a loop on each side. This holds the beads on and makes it easy to slip the finished wine charm on and off the glasses stem.

And you're done!
