Wine Glass Charm Set Instructions

Wine Glass Charm Set Instructions

1. Cut the wire
   Measure and cut five pieces of wire at 10 cm each - one piece is your spare.
2. Make a loop
   On one end of a 10 cm piece, grip the last few millimetres with round nose pliers and roll the wire into a closed loop.
3. Wrap around a mandrel
   Place the wire against your mandrel (or round form) at the size you want and wrap it around to form a smooth circle.
4. Leave extra length and trim
   Bring the two ends together so they meet neatly, then leave an extra 1 cm of wire and trim off the rest using side cutters.
5. Create the 90° bend
   On the end without the loop, use snipe nose pliers to bend that extra 1 cm section to a clean 90° angle. This becomes your hook/catch.
6. Hook to close
   Bring the looped end over and hook it onto the bent 90° section to close the piece.
7. Tidy up
   If the cut end of the wire feels sharp, use a file to smooth it down before wearing or handling.

Your first wine glass charm is now complete! Repeat the same steps for your remaining charms, you’ll finish with four lovely wine glass charms to enjoy or gift.
