Hello everyone and thank you for coming

back to my blog for another day of

Pinque Peacock beads from the Bead Buffett.

Today I wanted to try something different,

and do a project with beads. What I thought

was going to be a fun and easy project,

turned out to be a little more

difficult than I had hoped.

I first started with the wine glass charms. 

While this was a fast and easy task,

it was not without a few snags.

I struggled getting the beads on the wires. 

After a little frustration, I got out my covered

pliers and straightened the wire tips. Making

it much faster and easier to slide my beads

onto the wires. I simply just used my flat

covered pliers and rebent the wires as they

were before. The charms are some that I

picked up at Michael's. I had them left

over from another project I completed.

I still need to get some crimper beads

and put on the very ends to keep the

beads from sliding all over the place

while drinking from the wine glass.

 

I didn't stop there however, I also wanted to make a wine bottle stopper. This is where the fun began. I honestly had not thought about how thick the stem of the stopper would be when I started this project and purchased my beads from Jessica.

The beautiful pink swirled beads would not fit on the stem. the holes were much to small. I was so disappointed. 

However, there can always

be a plan B. Right ladies?

Plan B was to find bigger beads, then create a dangle from a bead. I found a cute little butterfly bead that had an eyelet on it that would be perfect to hang a dangle from. Here is what I came up with.

Oh my, I just realized when I put up that

picture that I failed to add the charm

to the dangle to match the wine glass

charms. I like how this turned out, even

if I did have to revert to plan B.

I hope you like my project today!
