    Karen - I would look on ebay first as i know there are lots of presentation boxes, bags etc there and postage usually cheaper than going to websites. Not sure about the wire - u can get very thin nylon wire like fishing wire which would not be very visable. I haven't made anything using this type of thing but I think others on here have and may be able to advise you more on the thread.

    Hi everyone, its been pretty quiet on here lately! I'm off today so have made some wine glass charms as a pressie for OH auntie. They are easy to make and are good for using up small beads. They also sold quite well at Christmas. I usually put a different charm on each but I didnt have enough so I've used different colours for each one. Fingers crossed I manage to insert my pictures!

    Jo - I usually put a tick in the box of the photo I want then scroll to the bottom of the page where it says 'generate HTML and IMG code' and click there. I then use all of the code given under 'IMG clickable thumbnails for message boards - recommended'.

    I've also made some wine charms recently but I find them abit boring to make!!!! They are easy though and look nice!! I am going to put them in a little organza bag.

    I've just bought some charm loop rings so I am just having a go with those.

    Thanks Angie.
    I agree they arent as much fun as necklaces or jewellery but are quick and easy and sell quite well if anyone is doing a party or craft fair.
