Blue Felt Tree

Robert's Mom's birthday was last month and I wanted to make her something unique.

I have had these styrofoam cones that I had been wanting to try crafting with.

 Browsing through Pinterest, I saw quite a few different ideas for trees made from them.

Using those for inspiration, I came up with my own tree idea.

I took the base of a ribbon container and traced circles onto two different shades of blue felt.

I cut the circles out and then attached them to the styrofoam cone,

using sequins pins.

I alternated between putting a seed bead a sequins on the sequins pin and putting a seed bead and a button on the pin.

I found those cute, sparkly blue birds in the dollar bins at Michael's.

I thought they would be a great touch to this project!

I adhered them with glue dots!

Wine Charms

Wine charms can be very expensive and it can be hard to find really cute one!

I love making jewelry and work well with beads and wires...

so I though, why not make my own?

They were very simple to make!

I used 20 gauge silver colored beading wire.

I cut off even lengths of the wire.

I strung my beads onto the wire.

For the longer charms, I used headpins and then attached them to the wire.

I made a loop on one end of the wire.

The other end I slightly bent so that it would catch in the loop.

I then rounded the wires and hooked them together!

They are all ready to keep your drink noticeable from others!

Many wine charms available in my Etsy shop
