Easy glass identifications for guests
"Recently, my friend Susann and I were talking about the necessary evil of wine charms (the little charm that hangs around the stem of a wine glass that is meant to connect the glass to its owner – so no one else accidentally drinks out of it). They serve a great purpose, but they can be a bit unattractive. I have never found a set in the stores that I wanted to buy. So Susann, this post is for you! Here are a few ideas you may like."
What could be more appropriate than wine glass charms made from cork?
I used a Color Box pigment stamp pad (available at craft or paper stores) in magenta to monogram each cork.
Using a sharp knife and a cutting board – cut the cork into 1/2 inch discs. Stamp each cork slice with a letter rubber stamp.
Using a small eye screw – hold the cork disc flat on the table and screw it in from the side. Pull a strand of jute through this loop and tie it to the stem of your wine glass.
I try to reuse birthday and greeting cards as often as possible – here I used a die cut to punch out heart shapes from a group of old cards. I attached these to the wine glass stems with glitter stick metallic pipe cleaners. Simply cut pipe cleaners into about 2 inch pieces, slip card on and twist to close.
Foil alphabet stickers attach well to the foot of a wine glass – yet come off easily. I purchased these stickers in the stationary department of Target – a package of 59 letters costs only $0.99.
