How to make your own wine charms
Step 1
Paint your beads in a base coat colour, then leave to dry.
We propped ours on the end of a pencil for ease of painting, but you could also use a wooden skewer or similar.
Once dry, use paint in a contrasting colour to add a pattern onto the larger beads.
Step 2
To make the tassel, wrap embroidery thread 10 times around the width of a ruler.

Step 3
Remove the bundle of thread from the ruler. Tie a 15cm (6") length of thread around the top of the loop, cut the bottom of the loop, then trim to neaten.
Step 4
Thread your larger bead over the top of the tassel, then thread on the smaller bead. Tie a knot at the top end of your thread.
You can then attach the charm to a wine glass by looping it over the base, or by placing it around the stem and pulling the smaller bead through the two long pieces of thread.
