This New Years Eve…toast in the New Year with a little added twist of fun.
Wine charms are used to identify wine glasses at parties. Instead of using the
usual little decorative ornament charms, why not make amusing, personalized
and all original “MIY Photo Clip-on Drink Charms”, using photos of your
guests, movie characters or emotioncon graphic clip-art. They are so easy to
make in minutes and they will fit standard wine, champagne and Martini glass
stems. They make wonderful favors and hostess gifts as well.

Suddenly glass charms got a lot more interesting. They will give your guests
something to talk about besides all the snow! Personalized “MIY Photo Clip-on
Drink Charms”, are practical and fun; they are useful for they stop glass
confusion, start conversations, and can let you keep track of how much you or
your guests have had to drink (one can easily forget on such festive
occasions).

Each photo tag clip-on Drink charm measures 3.8 in circumference. With a
computer software of your choice, make a sheet of small squares sized
slightly larger about 4.5 cm or for the circles in the exact size using various
pictures. Use pictures of your guests, or go with a movie theme, with assorted
characters from movies, or cartoons, one for each of your guests. I did a
combination of these types of pictures, a personalized photo tag one of each
guest, various winter nature pictures with numbers to clip onto a drink to keep
track of drink consumption, plus emotioncon graphics (you can get these on
the internet) just for fun so the guests can let everyone know what type of
mood they are in.

Have fun with this project, get creative and make a game out of it. Once your
pictures are selected, make a printout of the photos on thick quality photo
paper in matt or gloss finish.

For square picture shape print outs; use a circle template with a pencil to
outline the circle shape around each image. Cut out the circle photo shapes
with scissors. You can also opt to use a rotary circle cutter or scissors with
decorative edges.

Use a large hole punch to punch a hole in each circle photo tag charm. You
can also use various punch shapes such as stars, snowflakes using
decorative punches. Use scissors to cut a slit from the edge going inwards to
the center of the hole punch, and that is basically it, you now have party
personalized photo tag clip-on charms. They simply clip onto the stem of a
glass.

Place the personalized photo tag clip-on charms in a bowl near the drinks and
let your guests pick a character or mood charm tag for themselves. Great
your guest with their photo on their glass, this is sure to make them feel
welcomed.

Cheers! Have a safe and happy holiday season. All the best for the creative
New Year ahead!

using card board, rigid plastic craft sheets, or thick decorative papers and

the charms using gold tipped markers, glitter or gel pens. They can also be
further embellished using assorted remnants or notions, such as
scrapbooking decorative stickers, tag shapes, numbers and letters of your
choice.
