Do your guests forget where they set their wine glasses at your Holiday parties? Wine glass charms are an easy way to remember and with a monogrammed letter it’s even easier. These little wine glass charms work great as a place setting and a party favor. Your guests can take home their glass when the party is over. Monogrammed charms are inexpensive at craft stores and the dollar stores have a great assortment of wine glasses and goblets. Is your party a non-drinking event? Don’t fret you can do the same with a water goblet or any sort of glass and fill it with Christmas candy. The Mini Bowdabra bow maker with the hair bow tool and ruler make this project quick and easy. You can make a set of monogrammed favors in a just a few minutes!
Note: If some of your guests have names that start with the same letter, simply change up the ribbon color.
