3. **Note: This last 2mm silver plated bead will be the bottom of the wrap.**
4. Finish with a loop on the final end of the wire. Trim as needed.
5. Grape Cluster - The Grape Cluster looks good with anywhere from 12 to 15
beads.
a. Make 12-15 "Grapes": String a 4mm Amethyst bead on a gunmetal
head pin, and make a loop. **See Head & Eye Pin Loop Directions.**
Repeat until you have 12 - 15 "grapes."
b. Attach 2 "Grapes" to another Grape by connecting them loop to loop.
**See Jump Ring Hint on how to open & close loops.**
c. C
o
n
t
i
n
ue connecting 2 more grapes to the
cluster by attaching one Grape to each
end Grape, for a total of 5 Grapes.
d. Now using pliers, grasp one of the very end Grapes at it's loop, and let
the bunch hang down. There should be a point at the opposite end,
which will be the bottom Grape. From the loop of this grasped Grape,
add the 2 Gunmetal Oval Jump Rings, one on top of the other.
e. Adjust the hold of the pliers to the end Jump Ring.
**Hint: Wrap the handles of the pliers with a rubber band to hold in
place.**
By holding up the cluster, start adding more Grapes up the bunch.
Attach them anywhere needed, on to other Grapes and on to the jump
rings, filling in any holes.
f. To make the leaves,
attach each leaf with
a Medium Round
Jump Ring and then
connect the 2
together. Make sure
the leaves are facing forward.
g. Attach the leaves to the Grape
cluster by connecting one Jump
Ring from a Leaf to the top Oval
Jump Ring of the cluster. Again,
make sure they are facing forward. With a Leaf on each side of the
cluster, decide if more Grapes are needed and use the remaining ones
as desired. Hang Grapes from the bottom of the Leaves also to fill in
space.
h. Hang a desired Charm to that same Leaf Jump Ring, so that the charm
hangs off to the side of the cluster.
6. Finish connecting the remaining pieces.
a. Using a White colored Head Pin, string the Light Amethyst crystal
bead and make a loopat the end. Attach this piece to the bottom end
loop of the wrap. (See Step 2.)
b. With a White Eye Pin, string the Clear crystal bead and make a loop.
Attach this loop to the Grape cluster, off the connecting Leaf's Jump
Ring.
c. Now attach the full cluster with Charm, from the opposite loop of the
above crystal bead, to the top loop of the wrap.
7. Gently wrap
around the stem
of the
wineglass.
Depending on
the length of
the stem, the
wrap should be
spread out from
top to bottom of
the glass stem.
The Grape
cluster hangs at
the very top of
the stem and
the Light
Amethyst
crystal dangle
sits on the base
of the glass, lending support to the wrap.
Other Wrap Ideas




Set a beautiful table by using the same wrap as a matching Napkin Holder. Or
decorate CandleSticks as a centerpiece.
Give them as Wedding Gifts and use the Bride & Groom's chosen wedding
color or use wedding charms to dangle.
For parties, personalize each glass by using a different assortment of bead
colors, or simply by changing the bottom Crystal Bead to a different color for
each guest.
Use the Grape Cluster Dangle to decorate Gifts or Wine Bottles.

Tips and Hints:
To make nice round loops on head or eye
pins:
1. String selected beads on the head or eye pin.
2. Keep about 8mm (1/3") of wire.
Cut off any extra.
3. Use round nose pliers to grasp the wire just above the bead, at the arrow, and
bend sharply away from you.
4. Now use small round nose pliers to grasp the tip of the wire, and bend it
smoothly around the pliers down close to the beads.
Jump Ring Hint:
When you open and close jump rings, twist sideways instead
of "ovalling" them. This keeps their shape better, which
makes them easier to close all the way.
