Patriotic Poster Drink Charms

Vintage wartime posters are mixed with red, white, and blue beads on a hoop to create a festive drink charm.

Step 1: Open and print images

Open up the following images in my flickr link or go onto the web and find your own. The images I used for this project were taken from Library at Northwestern

Open up or layout your images in a photo preview program or Adobe Photoshop. Size, if needed where each individual image is about 1" wide.

LOVE this!! I am having an all "Girl's Night In" party and wanted to make my own wine glass charms based on my party theme - "Bad Kitty". This has given me an EXCELLENT way to accomplish this. Thanks so much!!!

Hi!

Today I posted an entry on my blog with a link to this tutorial.

Would you let me know if that's OK?

Thanks,

What is a "jump ring" ?

Mister C, this should help...basically, it is a piece of wire in a loop used in jewelry making. You can find them at any craft store in the jewelry section in various sizes, but for this project, you will need the small ones.

If you reply to Mister_Caipirinha's comment directly, he'll get the notification. :) Awesome project, by the way - classy and delightfully retro.
