Adding acrylic paint to wooden legs

Start by painting each of the four wooden legs with acrylic paint. Allow the legs to dry after painting.

Applying Mod Podge to mirror

Next, take your paintbrush and apply a thin circle of Mod Podge around the mirror. Then, sprinkle the faux snow over the Mod Podge and shake off any excess snow.

Attaching wooden legs to mirror


Flip the mirror over so the bottom is facing up. Prop it on a wooden lid to keep the faux snow in place while attaching the wooden legs. Use hot glue to attach the four wooden legs to the mirror.

Adding decorations

After attaching the legs, flip the mirror over. Use hot glue to add mini decorations to the mirror.
Finally, add craft gems around the mirror (this step is optional). You can also add mini lights to your decoration to make it look more festive.

How to Make Easy Beaded Wine Glass Charms

 I love creating small, simple crafts that add a personal touch to gatherings, and these wine glass charms were such a fun project. They’re easy to make, customizable, and perfect for parties, holidays, or even a cozy night in with friends. Each charm slips right onto the stem of a wine glass, making it easy for everyone to keep track of their drink. These charms come together quickly using beads, wire rings, and small metal pendants. You can mix and match colors and charms to fit any theme, and each one turns out a little different — which is part of the fun. Watch the video tutorial Materials Here’s what I used to make my wine glass charms: Wire rings Beads Small metal charms Jewelry pliers If your wire rings need trimming, use wire cutters—mine didn’t, so I didn’t need them for this project.  Choose your beads and charms Pick out the colors and shapes you want to use. I chose soft pinks, purples, and clear beads, along with heart, spiral, and flower charms. Each charm desig...
