Wine Glass Charms ...

As well as making cards and paper crafted items I also love to make wine glass charms. I can make them for all sorts of occasions and events, some are personalised, some have a colour theme or are linked to a special event.  I was asked to make these sets last week. The Jessica charm is how my standard personalised wine glass charm is packaged. It comes with it's on personalised stamped tag in a pretty organza drawstring bag. The sets for Dawn and Amie were a special request for sets of 4 coordinating charms. My charms are for sale at The Ribbon Girl, they have their own section or get in touch via the contact us page
