Shrinky Dink wine charms

If you're having friends over and the wine is going to be flowing, wine charms are a handy little accessory to have. That way, nobody forgets which glass of wine is theirs. Unless you're like me and have a memory as filled with holes as a block of Swiss cheese -- I even forget which wine charm is mine.

That's why I think Shrinky Dink wine charms that look like your friends are not only cute... they're incredibly useful, and simple to make, too!

Just draw cartoons of your friends (be kind) directly on Shrinky Dink paper or use a computer illustration program and print your artwork. Cut a small hole in the top of each cartoon and bake according to directions. Then thread the Shrinky Dink onto one-inch wire hoops. Decorate with additional beads as you wish.

If drawing isn't your thing, you have plenty of other options. Print out your friends' names in a nice font, use photos, or find clip-art that uniquely identifies your loved ones. Any way you choose to make these, your friends will appreciate the personal touch.
