Easy Wine Glass Charms

These wine glass charms are easy to make and provide a unique way to identify your drink.

Supplies Needed:
Earring Findings (I used earring loop findings available at Big W and Spotlight)

Assorted Beads (small beads work best)

Charm and 5mm jump ring (optional)

Instructions

1. Use a pair of pliers to bend the end down of the wire loop so you can put the beads on

2. Add your chosen beads to the loop.

3. Using your pliers again bend the end of the wire loop back up so the beads don't fall off.

4. If you want to add a charm to the loop, pick your charm and put it on the jump ring.

5. Place the charm and jump ring onto the wire loop and pinch the jump ring closed with your pliers

6. Now that you've finished the wine charm, place it on your wine glass.

Here are a few others I made:

Keroppi Cross Stitch

Heres a pic of a Keroppi cross stitch I recently did. You can find heaps of Sanrio characters (including the ever popular Hello Kitty) to cross stitch here. All the patterns are free and are fun and fast projects to create.

Upload any of your craft pics to the flickr group Creative Capers , all types of crafts are welcome especially any that were made and inspired from this blog.

Paper Pieced Bunny

How cute is this bunny, he would be great on a easter scrapbook page or on a handmade greeting card. I have the free pattern for you to download here, it's in pdf format so you'll need Adobe Reader to view it. Instructions to make the bunny come with the pattern pieces. If you do make one I would love to see it, leave a link in the comments section.

Knitted Mobile Phone Sock Cover

Finished Size: 10.5 x 6.5cm

Materials:

1 pair 4mm knitting needles (US size 6) (UK- size 8)

Yarn Needle

Yarn: Moda Vera Jelly 50g Ball (colour no: 02)

Tension/Gauge: 5 Sts & 8 rows = 1 inch in stocking stitch

To make sock cast on 14 Sts. Knit in stocking stitch (knit 1 row, purl 1 row) until work measures 22cms (or desired length). Cast off.

With right sides together, fold in half lengthways so that cast on and off edges meet. Using backstitch join side seams. Turn to right side. Your sock is now finished.

If you have a larger sized mobile phone you can make the sock larger by casting on more stitches or increasing the length. It's also fun to experiment with different yarn and needle sizes.

Purl Frog

I got the free pattern for this frog at The Purl Bee . With my frog I added rice instead of mung beans and used black glass beads for his eyes. I haven't named him yet and will be making more as my kids now want one each! There are also a few other free patterns at the Purl Bee.
