Festive wire wrapped beaded wine glass



Materials needed
Wine glass
4 glass beads (with large holes)
18 mm wire in your preferred colour

Tools needed
Ruler to measure wire
Wire cutters
Round nosed pliers

This is a great way to dress up your table especially when
entertaining over the holiday season. Use clear sparkly crystal or
red and green beads to set a festive mood.

Cut about a yard of wire. Run the wire through your hand to make it
easier to work with. Take the wire and make a loop with the needle
nosed pliers at one end of the wire. Keep twisting to make a coil and
stop when you reach your desired size.

Then make a kink in the wire right after the coil and fit around the
base of the wine glass stem. Then start wrapping the wire around the
stem of the glass coiling and twisting as you go, when you are about
1/4 into your wire string a glass bead onto the wire, Keep wrapping
and coiling and adding beads up the stem of the wine glass (see
video). At the end of your wire make another coil. This is a great
way to dress up your table especially when entertaining over the
holiday season. Use crystal or red and green beads to set a festive
mood.
