Beachcomber Wine Glass Charm Set Tutorial

Created by: Veronica Greenwood

Designer Tips

Create a colorful beaded drop for each wine glass marker, using gemstones or other beads of your choice.
New to jewelry-making? See Basic Jewelry-Making Technique Sheet (PDF) for how to make wrapped loops using eye pins.
Add an oval jump ring to each charm so they face the proper direction (twist sideways to open and securely close each jump ring).
Add approximately 10 seed beads to each hoop, then a charm and beaded drop, then 10 more seed beads.
Use chain nose pliers to grip the wire-end of the hoop approximately 2mm (1/16") from the end of the wire, and bend sharply upwards 90-degrees.
Click bent end into the flattened drilled portion of the manipulating hoop.
