How to make Wine Charms as a hostess gift for your next gathering. Created by Suzann Sladcik Wilson

Tis the time of year to be thankful and to celebrate! Often when we are asked to gatherings , it is customary for people to bring a bottle of wine for the host. Next time, along with your bottle of wine, bring these easy to make wine charms for the host. These charms are a great gift that can be used long after the bottle of wine is gone!

How to Make:

  2. Onto earring hoop, insert one silver sphere, one Swarovski crystal, one silver sphere, one Swarovski crystal in another color, one silver sphere, one Swarovski crystal in a third color, and one silver sphere.
  3. Place one charm onto the earring hoop next to the silver sphere.
  4. Repeat step 2 in reverse order.
  5. When finished placing all your beads onto the hoop, use your chain nose pliers to bend about a 1/4 of an inch of the straight end of the hoop to a 90 degree angle.
  6. Insert the 90 straight end into the loop end of the earring charm to close.
  7. Repeat 5 more times to finish all charms.
  8. Enjoy the smile on your host’s face when they see the beautiful (and thoughtful!) gift you have made!
