No tools needed! Simply unscrew the top, add the desired large-hole beads of your choice and screw the top back on!

NOTE: Bottle stoppers are for display and repeated short-term (less than one week at a time) wine storage. Due to acidic buildup from the wine, continual use can damage the plating.

TIP: Personalize with lampwork glass beads formed on a 3/32" mandrel, or any beads with 2.5-2.7mm holes.

TIP: Due to varied bead-hole sizes (particularly with gemstone beads) it may be necessary to ream some of the beads. Use the battery-operated bead reamer (#69-058) to enlarge the bead holes.

See our Basic Jewelry-making Technique Sheet for tips on working with jump rings, and Beaded Head & Eye Pin Technique Sheet for creating nice head-pin loops.
