Colorful and unique, I created these six wine glass charms to liven up your glassware for any occasion! These beaded charms are an ideal hostess gift, wonderful for a night out with friends and make perfect party favors.
Here’s what you’ll need to get started:
- 6 – One-inch silver plated earring forms
- 6 – nine or 10mm beads of different colors
- 48 – gold seed beads
- 1 pair of pointed jeweler’s pliers
Each charm is made the same way using a different colored large bead in the center. Here are the steps:
- Slide 4 gold seed beads onto the hoop.
- Slide one large colored bead onto the hoop.
- Slide 4 more gold seed beads onto the hoop.
- Bend the straight edge of the earring hoop to a 90 degree angle up.
- Slide the bent piece into the hole existing for closing the hoop. (Put the hoop around the wine glass stem first).
Add a little style to your glassware and never again have to answer the question: “Is that glass mine?”
