Happy Hour Wine Glass Markers Tutorial

Created by: Janet Boyington

Designer Tips

  • Create stamped charms using Monogram stamp set.
    New to stamping? See Metal Stamping 101 for an overview, or download our step-by-step PDF stamping guide.
  • Use Stamp Enamel to make the design pop, and wipe off excess with a paper towel or soft cloth (follow usage instructions on Stamp Enamel package).
  • Use the crystal setter kit to stamp an indent for a crystal rhinestone. It should be deep enough to protect the edges of the stone, but the top of the crystal should still be higher than the surface of the charm. Glue the stone in with a drop of GS Hypo Cement (or your favorite glue that's safe for foil-back crystals), and set aside to dry.
  • Add a jump ring to each charm.
    New to jewelry-making? See Basic Jewelry-Making Technique Sheet (PDF) for most secure way to open and close jump rings.
  • Add approximately 10 seed beads to each hoop, 2 metal heishi, the stamped charm, 2 more heishi and a final 10 seed beads.
  • Use chain nose pliers to grip the round wire end of the hoop approximately 2mm (1/16") from the end of the wire, and bend sharply upwards 90-degrees.
  • Click bent end into the flattened drilled portion of the manipulating hoop.
