Things You'll Need

• Memory wire or thin gauge wire
• Charm
• Jump ring
• Beads
• Pliers

Instructions

1. Gather together all of your crafting supplies, including the charms you wish to use. These can be purchased, made from polymer clay or fashioned from unique items, such as antique jewelery or feathers.

2. Cut a length of thin gauge wire to approximately 1 1/2 inches in length.

3. Thread your charm onto the wire using the jump ring to place the charm on the wire. This can be threaded on first, last or in the middle of wire. The placement of your charm is a personal preference.

4. Place decorative beads on the wire in either random or repeating patterns until your wire is nearly filled with beads.

5. Use the pliers to create a small 90 degree angle at each end of the wire. You'll use these to hook the wire together around the stem of the wineglass.

Tips & Warnings

• Remove the charms from the wine glasses prior to washing.

• Customize charms to each event such as a wedding shower by selecting or crafting charms such as wedding bells or wedding rings.
