Flash of wine glass charms

Hullo! HTB and I made 70 of our wine glass charms last night. They're not too bad to make; we only stopped when we ran out of Es and As! I have more on order so will hopefully be able to crack on soon.

They're only a little thing, but they match our claret and ivory colours, which I think is nice.

HTB helped out loads making them too ... he actually came in while I was doing them and got all panicky that I was doing it without him - bless! His fingers are a little chunky to do the little beads but he really helped with sorting out the names from all the letters and doing the bending of the catches. Bless him!

    Haha, he just wants to be involved, which is great. I hope he's still up for it when it comes to making the invitations. Each one needs 16 holes punched in it. This is going to take some doing.

    They're lovely! I looked into buying wine glass charms but didn't think of making them! Do you mind me asking where you got your supplies and roughly how much they are costing?

    I got everything on eBay! Here's the links to everything:

    Wire hoops (2 lots of 100 = £6.40):

    400 Red beads (99p):

    http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/170866295951?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649#ht_2439wt_1180

    400 ivory beads (99p):

    http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/170866415916?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649#ht_2439wt_1180

    Silver letters (2 packs of 400 mixed letters = £7.78)

    http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/280840405718?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649#ht_1597wt_1180

    I've had to order some more letters, which I knew I would have to but I wanted to see first how the letters panned out. I've ordered a 50-pack each of just Es, As, Is and Ns at 50p per pack, plus another mixed pack of 500.

    I have about 150 to make, so this works out in total at approx 15p each plus a little bit of P&P! Cheap as chips!

    They look great! I randomly decided to make wine glass charms one night after a few vinos ? I've not done personalised ones though, I got bride, groom, bridesmaid etc charms but then the rest have LOVE on them.

    I never realised they are so cheap to do. If I get time I may make some. Big 'if' on that... Lol
