Jewelry for your Glass...

I know I promised to have 2 posts tonight, but my camera's battery died. I had to wait for it to charge in between pictures tonight and even then they came out blurry. I will have batteries tomorrow. :/

So... tonight's project is a really easy to make, and you can give them to your girlfriends, hostess, boss, or keep them for yourself for your own holiday gathering! :)

Supplies: This will make a set of 4 goblet rings
4 metal rings with eyelet (I bought these at Michael's- you get several different sizes in one container. Use the largest size for this project. Save the others for something else. You should have enough to make 4 sets in each package.)

16 Glass beads (make sure the hole is large enough for the metal rings)
16 Metal spacer beads (make sure the hole is large enough for the metal rings)
4 charms (again pick any kind you like- customize them to the recipient's taste)

Tools: a pair of pliers (any kind will work- you don't need to have the jewelers/crafting kind; borrow from your hubby's toolbox they work too!)

Note: Pictured below is what you will need for 1 goblet ring.


Step 1: Thread 1 metal spacer bead on to ring.



Step 2: Thread 1 glass bead on to ring.



Step 3: Repeat Step 1 and Step 2.



Step 4: Thread 1 metal enamel charm on to ring.



Step 5: Thread 1 glass bead on to ring.



Step 6: Thread 1 metal spacer bead on to ring.
Step 7: Repeat Step 5 and Step 6.
Step 8: Take pliers and bend end of ring 90 degrees, see picture below.
Note: This will stop the beads from falling off, and allow for the two ends to lock together around stem of glass.


That's it!
Now repeat the entire process for each goblet ring. Below is a picture of the rest of the set in silver and another set in gold.
