Wine charms are more than just pretty additions to your table setting at gatherings, but they are also helpful ID markers for people who get confused with similar-looking wine glasses. You can choose from hundreds to thousands of wine charms sets available in your local craft store or online. Almost every special occasion or party has a wine charm that suits it well. Making wine charms is one way for you to make your party more personalized and unique, because you set the theme, and you create the decorations that go with it.
If you decide to make your own wine charms, then better get your materials ready. Don't worry, the list isn't that long, and you have more options when you visit the craft store nearest you. Since wine charms are meant to go around the stems of wine glasses, select an appropriate sized base for your wine charm. The base is usually made of craft wire, or you can use a pre-made earring hoop that costs anywhere from 80 cents to a dollar. Since the earring hoop has its own locking ends, you can easily attach and remove your wine charms when you need to wash your wine glasses. Earring hoops come in a variety of diameters, so choose one that you are sure to fit around your glass stem easily.
Next, choose the kinds of beads you would like to adorn your charms with. If you want a themed party, you may select beads that have the similar color scheme. It is also a good idea to make each wine charm different from each other, which helps your guests in recognizing their own wine glasses. Beads come in many materials, like wood, glass, plastic, metal, ceramic, and many others. Some kinds cost more than others, so if you're planning to buy many, be conscious of your budget.
Making wine charms is simple. Simply string on your beads onto the earring hoop based on the design template you had in mind. You can even twist an extra piece of craft wire on the earring hoop, so some beads can dangle like a pendant. You can get more design ideas by checking out wine charm resources on the web.
