This New Years Eve…toast in the New Year with a little added twist of fun. Wine charms are used to identify wine glasses at parties. Instead of using the usual little decorative ornament charms, why not make amusing , personalized and all original “MIY Photo Clip-on Drink Charms”, using photos of your guests, movie characters or emotioncon graphic clip-art.

They are so easy to make in minutes and they will fit standard wine, champagne and Martini glass

stems. They make wonderful favors and hostess gifts as well.

Suddenly glass charms got a lot more interesting. They will give your guests something to talk about besides all the snow! Personalized “MIY Photo Clip-on Drink Charms”, are practical and fun; they are useful for they stop glass confusion, start conversations, and can let you keep track of how much you or your guests have had to drink (one can easily forget on such festive occasions).

Each photo tag clip-on Drink charm measures 3.8 in circumference. With a computer software of your choice, make a sheet of small squares sized slightly larger about 4.5 cm or for the circles in the exact size using various pictures. Use pictures of your guests, or go with a movie theme, with assorted characters from movies, or cartoons, one for each of your guests. I did a combination of these types of pictures, a personalized photo tag one of each guest, various winter nature pictures with numbers to clip onto a drink to keep

track of drink consumption, plus emotioncon graphics (you can get these on the internet) just for fun so the guests can let everyone know what type of mood they are in.

Have fun with this project, get creative and make a game out of it. Once your pictures are selected, make a printout of the photos on thick quality photo paper in matt or gloss finish.

For square picture shape print outs; use a circle template with a pencil to outline the circle shape around each image. Cut out the circle photo shapes

with scissors. You can also opt to use a rotary circle cutter or scissors with decorative edges.

Use a large hole punch to punch a hole in each circle photo tag charm. You can also use various punch shapes such as stars, snowflakes using

decorative punches. Use scissors to cut a slit from the edge going inwards to the center of the hole punch, and that is basically it, you now have party personalized photo tag clip-on charms. They simply clip onto the stem of a glass.

Place the personalized photo tag clip-on charms in a bowl near the drinks and let your guests pick a character or mood charm tag for themselves. Great

your guest with their photo on their glass, this is sure to make them feel welcomed.

Cheers! Have a safe and happy holiday season. All the best for the creative New Year ahead!

Names and initials can be applied to the charms using gold tipped markers, glitter or gel pens. They can also be further embellished using assorted remnants or notions, such as

scrapbooking decorative stickers, tag shapes, numbers and letters of your

Positive Pop

On today’s music scene, it is very hard to find an artist or even a song that doesn’t have adults cringing at the words or the innuendo. If the lyrics seem harmless enough, then the video is apt to make you feel uncomfortable. Needless to say, many parents with pre-teen children often wish they could keep their kids’ ears and eyes covered until they are 20! While it’s uncomfortable enough having youngsters listening to music like that, having them attend a live concert is something that many parents think twice about.

This is precisely where Hanna Montana distinguishes itself from other pop concerts. Here, the message is always positive with young fans being encouraged to believe in their dreams and in themselves.
