I made these Halloween drink charms in preparation for our Halloween party this year. It was surprisingly simple to do, and only took about 45 minutes to put them all together. Here's what you'll need to do it yourself:
2 packages of picture frame charms (I found these for half price at Hobby Lobby)
1 small spool of medium-gauge metal wire
an assortment of colored beads
set of fine-tipped markers (I used Sharpies)
First, remove the blank paper from the back of the photo frame charms. I drew a series of spooky pictures on each piece of paper--skull & crossbones, black cat, witch hat, pumpkin, ghost, broomstick, tombstone, coffin, crescent moon, bat, spider, and spider web--then replaced the paper in the frame. (Another idea would be to write the name of a different kind of poison on each charm.) I then threaded each charm onto a piece of wire along with some decorative beads to help make each charm a little easier to recognize. To finish off, you'll want to curve the very tips of each wire with some needle-nose pliers. Now you can hook each charm around the stem of a glass or the handle of a tankard! The unique pictures also give your guests something to talk about if you're inviting a set of people who may not all know each other.
