My "Ladies Craft & Wine Night" necessitated this DIY project. I kinda wanted to do something cute to help the ladies differentiate between each others' wine glasses. I had previously seen wine glass charms in stores and figured they'd be easy enough to attempt on my own. I went on an internet search and surprisingly didn't find much. I was hoping for some tutorials or cute ideas for inspiration - nada mucho. So I attempted it and here they are...

I was able to raid my craft supplies and find a bunch of semi-coordinating beads. I went to Michael's and purchased the earring wires you see in the picture above. The pack came with 60 earring wires and was only about $1.50 after using a weekly Michael's coupon 40%. I made various patterns with the beads so that each wine charm would be different and laid them out. I strung the beads on the earring wire, then all I had to do was bend the earring wire end 90 degrees (*used a jewelry tool) so that the beads wouldn't fall off and voila!!! So easy!
