3 Materials

With my daughters wedding approaching I wanted to make her and her new husband a special gift that would be a keepsake throughout the years.
It just happened that the Summer blog challenge coincided with their wedding day.
So, taking the pack of inBloom acrylic and glass beads that we had been instructed to purchase for this project and some other crafting materials I created these bead Keepsake Chargers.

DIY Keepsake Chargers

Step 2:

Remove beads from package and spread them out on a plate, if using your hot glue gun, heat it up.

When using a hot glue gun be very careful not burn yourself and if children are working on this project with you, supervise them.

Step 3:

Place a small dot of hot glue or Quick grip on the very edge of the charger.

Take beads, alternating color and size and place them on top of the glue, holding them in place until the hot glue cools or the bead won't move.

Step 4

After completing the project let charger wit beads on them dry overnight before wrapping or packaging.

These chargers, and decorative plates were wrapped up and presented to the bride and groom.

As you can see that had a romantic dinner using them.
