I like to try and make Christmas gifts every year, usually in addition to a store bought item, for my family. This past year we got bottles of wine to give as gifts from a local winery, so I wanted to do a wine themed DIY project in addition. I decided to do wine charms, and while I created some nice sets for my family members I also made a Disney wine charm set for myself! It’s a pretty easy project, but here’s what I did:
Materials:
Hooks (like these:World Pride® 100 Silver Plated Wine Glass Charm Rings Earring Hoops
)
Small beads
Charms (I ordered in bulk from Amazon, but if you’re looking for a specific theme you may be better going to a craft store and picking out specific charms. You can get cheap bulk sets like this one: Charms Pendants Mega Mix DIY for Jewelry Making and Crafting
).
Instructions:
Once you have all of your materials together, actually assembling the charms was a fairly easy process. If you have small beads you just need to make sure the opening is long enough to actually fit on the hooks. For the looks of mine I did two colored beads, the charm, and then two more colored beads. I tried to match the colored charms to the bead – so for my Ariel charm, I used green and purple beads. And that’s really it! You hook the ends together around a wine glass and you’ve got a wine charm! I did sets of 8 for my family, but you can really do as many as you want.
To make them “Disney,” I created a Princess set with charms to represent each one. My set included: a carriage for Cinderella, mermaid for Ariel, frog for Tiana, snowflake for Elsa, and then two general princess charms,a crown and a tag that said princess. But there are lots of other things you could do! A clock or shoe for Cinderella, a rose, tea cup, or book for Belle, a seashell for Ariel, etc. You can get creative with whatever characters you like! Perhaps a playing card for Alice, or a lamp for Aladdin. Or you could do a theme park set: a rocket ship to represent Tomorrowland, pirate ship for Pirates of the Caribbean, a bird for the Enchanted Tiki Room, etc. There are tons of possibilities based on what charms you find!
Would you want your own set of Disney wine charms?
Omg ridiculously cute idea. I love these with a bottle of wine for the holidays!
Thank you, they do make great gifts!
What a cute idea! I was in a wedding and they made us gifts similar to this. Great idea!
Aww that’s sweet, what a good idea as a wedding party gift!
These are fantastic! We could have used these last night! Adorable!
Haha yes, we often have parties and wine is brought out, so they come in handy!
This is SO cute and such a great gift idea!!
Thank you!
Such a cute idea! I seriously love how passionate you are with Disney.
Aww, thank you! For some reason Disney is the thing that has stuck with me and I never get bored talking or writing about it:)
This is absolutely adorable! I totally need to get these for my nieces. They both have birthdays coming up and they are huge fans of frozen. I need to get one for both of them!
This is such a cute idea! It’s also a great Christmas present idea because who doesn’t love wine?! Thank you!
I know I’m always happy with a gift of wine, haha!
These are adorable! I am definitely thinking that some of my family members will be getting these this year for the holidays. I wonder if I could find cute glasses and themed wine to go with them.
You totally could! Have you heard of “Once upon a Vine”? They are a wine company and all of their wines have titles that are puns on fairy tales, like “The Fairest Chardonnay.”
