Sea Shell Wine Charms
Make easy seashell wine glass charms with just a couple of supplies. Glue, seashells, and suction cups are all you need. These make great gifts, too!
Supplies
- Gorilla Glue or Super Glue
- Assorted seashells
- Mini suction cups 20 mm
- Freezer paper optional
Instructions
- To make seashell wine charms, simply glue the suction cup (non-suction side) to the back of a shell.
- For best results, place the suction cup on your protected work surface, suction cup down. I find freezer paper works well here to cover your work surface. Add glue to the top of the suction cup and rest the shell on top, holding the shell lightly until the glue sets.
- Let the glue dry completely before using your wine charms.
Expert Tips & FAQs
- Any strong, viscous glue will work. I find that glue from a hot glue gun doesn't stick well to the suction cups, so I don't advise hot glue.
- For the seashells, choose small shells (about 1-inch across). That is, shells with rounded backs so the suction cup will fit. Clam and scallop shells, for example, will likely be too hollow in the back for the suction cup to reach the glass.
