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!
