Make DIY beaded wine stoppers for our 2017 Creative Challenge for Crafters
We here at 365 Days of Crafts have decided to provide crafting prompts for you to follow along with. Each month we will offer a them and inspiration to you. We want you to join in the fun and play along. If you make something or many things and want to share, use the hashtag #mycreativeChallenge . The hashtag will allow is to see what you are doing and to share your creativity too. Our first them is LOVE. This does not have to be Valentine related but it can be. As you can see with my project below mine is a beaded wine stopper. I love to bead and I love shimmer and shine and I love wine too. The trifecta of crafting projects for me. I also like to make them and keep them on hand as they make the perfect hostess gift. You can give it alone or pair it with your favorite bottle of wine. This is a SUPER SIMPLE project. It is reasonably priced and looks fantastic with little effort.
The first image shows a pink and white Hope themed stopper. You can mix random color beads or give the stopper a theme.
Supplies for Beaded Wine Stopper:
- Wine stopper Blanks
- Large core beads
- Pearl Dangles or charms
This picture of the wine stoppers show how versatile they really are. There is an everyday color scheme, a BCA (Breast Cancer Awareness them and a Christmas piece. The dangles really add an extra touch of fun and whimsy.
Instructions for beaded wine stoppers:
- Remove cap on wine stopper.
- load beads onto stem
- Screw top back on
- Add dangles or charms
I told you the project was super simple and I was not kidding. I “love” how easy they are to make and how great they look for so little effort.
For my personal use I made the aqua, blue and white theme to go along with the color scheme in my living room. Make sure you play along with the creative challenge. We really do mean it when we say we want you to share what you make. Nothing makes us happier than to know that we have inspired someone to make themselves happy and created something beautiful

Where did you get this stopper? And what do you mean “load”. Do you pre string the bead?

The stoppers can be found on Oriental Trading and it has a stem that sticks out to drop the beads onto.
