DIY - WINE CHARMS FOR OOT BAG OR FAVORS

Many of my family members and friends are big wine drinkers (not alcoholics, just enjoy a glass of wine, lol).  I wanted to give a set to each family however, the cheapest I found was about $3.00 and I have about 30 families going (78 and counting).   This is the idea:

Being determined to do this at a much cheaper price, I started searching ebay and found everything I needed to make 200 charms for less then $30....SOOOOO EXCITED:  Here are all the links to the items I ordered which includes the ring, beads, charms and organza bags:

1. The link to the Rings for the charms $5.59 for 200

I figure that will all these, I will be able to create at least 30 sets of 4 to give to my guests and the remaining I will assemble and pass on to a friend of mine who is having a destination wedding in 2014. Can't wait to receive them and put them together.

Will do for sure! 

These are amazing!! Thanks for posting, my guests would love this!

Thanks for sharing I live it!

Love

Great deals! Looking forward to the final product

Alright ladies...I received most of my charms and rings so I've started assembling the wine charms....alas the beads I ordered are way too big for the rings so I went digging into my 11 year old girls beads and found millions of black, white and blue (our wedding colours) and it worked...here is the final product (I'm still waiting for the Flip Flop charm and the Palm Tree tree). 

I'll put six per bag and label...going to look like this

I signed up to this website just so I could leave you a message.  Thank you for providing links to the cheap deals you found!!! That is great!

awesome idea!
