Happy Hour Wine Charms

Keep your cocktails organized this autumn with these Happy Hour Wine Charms. Work up these insanely cute crocheted maple leaves in different colors to keep track of everyone's beverage at your next get together or dinner party. This quick and easy crochet pattern would also make a great homemade hostess gift idea. Each crocheted leaf measures approximately 2 inches across. For a more year-round wine glass accessory, use more generic nature colors instead of the festive fall colors shown here.

Wine or glass charms are still all the rage right now. I think they are a good idea and it is fun to see all the diy wine charms. This is the first one that I have seen with a "Fall" theme. Cute

While the photo shows the same leaves on both charms, the pattern crochets up two different looking set of leaves. Charms would probably be better if each charm had a unique color for the string that ties them to the wine glass stem. It might get confusing by the time you get to the point where you can't "face your feel" during happy hour. Easy and fun pattern.

Is it me, or are all the leaves alike? How would the user know which set of leaves belonged to him or her? Glass markers are very popular and I love the concept. How can I make these unique?

Dont limit these sweet little leaves to just Wine Charms! These clever scrapbusters can be used for just about anything you can imagine. I made matching napkin rings and plan to scatter some on my holiday table. Theyre great little appliqus, too, for hats, scarves or other accessories. I even included a few in my scrapbooking pages. Use your own imagination and find a new home for these!
