Creative Beading

I have a lot of ring memory wire…what can I make with it?

I wanted to try wine charms or even try to do a bracelet that was beaded hoops connected somehow…can anyone help? FYI I do enjoy making jewelry and have lots of supplies…I’m just a little stumped!

ooh, go with the wine charms. Make sets of 4-6 charms, using either different colored seed beads or E beads for each one (a red one, blue one, green one, etc) or use silver beads with a single themed larger charm dangling down. I made a set with a witch, a cat, a pumpkin and a bat once. Hobby Lobby/Joann will have silver toned charms for less than a dollar; search out the clearance charms at Joann and they might even be 50 cents. Anyway, make up several sets and keep them on hand for Christmas gifts. You can buy wrist sized memory wire (get the smaller diameter) and make a wine bottle charm. It goes around the neck of the bottle and you could then hook all the little charms onto it. Buy a bottle of wine, add the charms and viola! Gift!
