The holidays are fast
approaching. You’re up to your elbows in present wrapping, tree trimming, and
cookie baking. But never fear, quilting friends! There is still time to whip up
the perfect hostess gift or stocking stuffer for someone you love. How about a
set of homemade wine glass charms stored in a simple but sweet lace zipper
pouch?
This cute lace zipper
pouch is based on a free tutorial from the Fort Worth Fabric Studio blog. There
are three size options. I made the small pouch, which finishes at 6 1/2” x 7
1/2”. The festive reindeer fabric and red lace zipper are also available
at Fort Worth Fabric Studio! I customized my pouch by using two different
fabrics on the outside.
The homemade wine glass
charms were a breeze to make. The actual construction time is just minutes, and
it reminded me of a good old-fashioned art project at school. Paper, scissors,
glue . . . what more could a kid-at-heart want? I’ll share my process with you
below, so you can make some charms yourself.
Thanks so much for
stopping by the blog today. Wishing you all peace, happiness, and hobbies that
bring you joy!

Homemade Wine Glass
Charms
SUPPLIES
Note: These supplies can
be found at the larger chain craft stores or online.
- Pendant trays with glass domes
(These come in many sizes and colors. I used the 1” round. I found a set
of 30 for $10.)
- Earring hoops/wine glass rings
(I used the 1” diameter. I found a set of 100 for $5.)
- Scrapbook paper (I used a sheet
of Christmas themed card stock cutouts that I had on hand. I would
definitely recommend a heavier scrapbook paper. I think thin paper would
not look as sharp under the glass once glued down.
- Diamond Glaze glue (Less than
$5.)
- Craft knife or scissors (I used my pretty polka dot scissors from Fort Worth Fabric Studio. Hey, our tools should be as cute as the end product, don't you think?)
STEPS
1. Find an area of the
paper that you want to feature under the glass dome.
2. Apply a thin layer of
Diamond Glaze to the back side of the dome. Push out any air bubbles with the
glue applicator as you spread it on.
3. Lay your paper on a
plastic container lid or wax paper. Center the glass dome on the image. Press
down lightly. If excess glue seeps out, you may wipe it away gently with a damp
paper towel.
4. Wait 10-15 minutes for
it to dry. If the glass dome no longer slides on the paper, it is dry enough to
proceed. (Note: Per the wording on the glue bottle, finished drying time for
the project is 2-3 hours. However, 10-15 minutes was enough time for me
to proceed to the next step.
7. Insert the dome and
press down lightly. If excess glue seeps out, you may wipe it gently with a
damp paper towel.
8. Let the pendant dry for
2-3 hours.
9. Attach the pendant to
the earring hoop/wine glass ring.
11. Pour a glass of wine and
revel in your craftiness!
Those wine charms are so cute. The possibilities are endless with what you can do with scrapbooking paper. This would most certainly make an awesome gift exchange gift for a friend of loved one. Thank you for sharing!!
