Top tip
Make sure to give each charm a slightly different look so you can tell them apart once they are in use.
These pretty wine glass markers will let you keep track of your drink and they look so beautiful too
1 Cut a 15cm length of florist’s wire. Using jewellery pliers, bend one end of the wire into a tight loop, keeping it as flat as possible. Gently wrap the wire once around a marker pen or other thick cylindrical object until it forms a loop – do not cut away the excess wire yet.
