DIY Tassel Wine Charms
Have you ever mixed up your wine glass with someone else?
It's easy to do at a party. Wine charms are a great way to keep track of your glass, plus they just look pretty!
These DIY Tassel Wine Charms are easy and fun to make. They'd make a great gift for wine aficionados and anyone who loves entertaining.
Supplies
Ready to make your own wine charms? Here's what you'll need:
- 4 coordinating shades of embroidery floss
- scissors
- 4 2-inch eye pins
- jewelry making tools: cutter, round nose pliers, and chain nose pliers
- 4 bead cones
- 4 hoop earrings
How to Make Tassel Wine Charms
Cut six 3-inch pieces of embroidery thread (avoid any pieces with kinks).
Hold the pieces together and pull them through the loop of the eye pin. This can be a little tricky! Wet the ends and press them together to make it easier.
Cut another piece of embroidery thread and wrap it around the other strands, near the eye pin. Tie a double knot, then trim the ends.
Cut the ends of the tassel so it's about 1-inch long.
Pull the straight part of the eye pin through a bead cap, then make a loop near the top of the cap using the round nose pliers.
Hold the loop in place with the chain nose pliers, then wrap the excess wire a few times below the loop.
Trim the excess wire and use the chain nose pliers to press the cut end in so it doesn't scratch anyone.
Slide the charm onto a hoop earring
Then use the chain nose pliers to bend the straight edge of the hoop up 90 degrees (about ½-inch from the end).
Trim the wire to about ¼ inch, then tuck the end into the open loop.
Your DIY Tassel Wine Charm is complete! Repeat this process to make more charms.
I love how cute these wine charms turned out to be, and they really were easy to make.
Make a set for your friends and one for yourself, too!
I packaged these Wine Charms in a small craft box wrapped with a gold lamé ribbon. The finishing touch is this free printable Seasons Greeting Gift Tag!
