Easy to make magnetic wine glass charms

At any party, especially at Christmas it is easy to get carried away. As the food, wine and merriment begin to flow, it is even easier to lose track of which glass belongs to whom.

Here is what you will need:

 

 

How to make wine glass charms

Step one

Firstly you will need to take your memory wire rings, memory wire is really useful as it is generally supplied already in rings and keeps its shape well. For our wine glass charms we are using 22mm diameter rings, which you can get in coils of ten rings for just over £1.00 from Beads Direct. Cut one complete ring off of the coil.

Step two

Take one side of a magnetic jewellery clasp and feed this on to one end of the ring with the larger diameter facing the end of the open end of the ring.

Step three

Use some needle nose jewellery pliers to bend the end of the ring back on itself, preventing the first part of the clasp from coming off.

Step four

Add beads or charms to the ring to personalise the design. It is a good idea to make each one different so that your guests can use them to tell their glasses apart. We used a selection of beads and Christmas charms found on Amazon but you can personalise yours to  each of your guests tastes.

Step five

Add the second part of the jewellery clasp onto the other end of the ring, again with the wider hole pointing towards the other part of the clasp and bend the end back on itself using your pliers

And voila! The two parts of the magnetic clasp will attract together allowing your guests to quickly and easily attach and detach their charms from their glass. Cheers!
