The twelve days of Christmas officially start on Christmas day so today is the 6th day of Christmas. I hope you had and are having a very merry one.
Welcome to Girls Want Pearls, where every Monday we take a look at pearls, their role in history and fashion and how we can repurpose them in our wardrobe and home. With New Year’s Eve one day away I thought it would be fun to make a simple charm for a stemmed glass. Wine glass charms add prettiness and sparkle to our festivities but what I love most about them is their practicality. I hate not knowing whether I’m grabbing the right glass or more importantly whether someone else is grabbing mine! Keep your hands off my drink ~ pretty please :).
All you need to make these:
a package of silver or gold earring hoops, the simple wire kind
pearls game pieces, bottle caps, beads or any other embellishments of your choice
jump ring for the game piece (optional)
I drilled a hole in these game tiles, so every person can have their own initial. You could also cover a cap from a milk jug, water bottle or any small round or square item with chalkboard paint and write an initial or (tiny) message.
Now, fill that glass with champagne or sparkling grape juice and toast to the new year with courage and hopeful expectation of good things to come in 2014. Cheers!
Next week’s hint: take it up a notch

Annie, I don’t know how you come up with so many ideas using pearls, but I hope to see more of them. And needless to say, I hope to see many more posts from you this year, as well.
Best and Warmest Wishes for a Happy, Healthy and Prosperous New Year!
