Blinged Out Fairy Tale Purse/Wine Charms

Charms

1. Glue flatback crystals onto charms using G-S Hypo cement or Devcon 2-pt epoxy. Let dry.

Wire Wrapped Beads

2. Cut 4 pieces of 8" of 20 gauge black wire.
3. Bend each wire in half.
4. Using round nose pliers, make a spiral with one end of the wire.
5. Make a spiral with the other end of the wire turning the opposite direction so the end result looks like an "S."
6. Push the tip of your pliers up through the middle of the coil to create a little hat. Repeat for other spiral.
7. Bend the "S" in half and squish the hats together to create a cage. Spread the coils out a bit if needed.
8. Open the cage in the middle and insert your bead. Reform the wire wraps if needed.
9. Make an eye pin out of the same wire and slide it through the caged bead.
10. Create a simple loop at the top of your eye pin.
11. Open one loop and add charm; close loop.

Memory Wire Bracelet

12. Using a memory wire cutter, cut 3 loops length of small gold memory wire.
13. Using your round nose pliers, create a small loop at the end of the wire.
14. String on crystals and metal spacers; create a small loop on the other end of your wire.
15. Open loop and add wire wrapped bead; close loop. Repeat for other charm(s).
