Add Some Bling

• Add some sparkle and shine to your wine bottle opener with decorative rhinestones or sparkling Swarovski crystals, the most elegant name in the art of rhinestone making. Rhinestones can be made from rock crystal, glass or acrylic and can be attached to your wine bottle opener with a hot glue gun or jewelry glue. You can find glass gemstones in decorative shapes like butterflies or you could come up with your own design such as your initials or your favorite icon, such as a peace sign.

Get it Engraved

• Personalize your wine bottle openers by having them engraved. This would be a more sophisticated idea for a gift or as a memento for a special occasion such as the birth of a child, a graduation or a wedding. Add your business name and logo to a bulk order of wine bottle openers to help spread the word about your business, especially if it is food or service related. You could also add a short message such as “I love you” or “Will you marry me?” to a gift for someone special to discover over a special bottle of wine.

Use Craft Paint

• You’ll need a very fine artist’s paint brush or perhaps even a toothpick to embellish your wine bottle opener with craft paint. Acrylic craft paint can be used on a variety of surfaces, including metal. You might be able to find a very small stencil but if not, you’ll have to add your design freehand style. Practice your design first on a smooth metal, glass or ceramic surface and when you have the proper tool and technique figured out, paint it on your wine bottle opener.

Attach a Dangling Beaded Charm

• Use beading wire to make a dangling charm that you can attach to your wine bottle opener. Design this decorative accessory similarly to a beaded bookmark or book thong. The length will be a matter of personal preference, however, it does not have to be as long as a typical book thong. In addition to the wire, charm, crimping beads and decorative beads, you’ll need a few tools such as round-nose pliers, crimping pliers and a nipper tool. Beads in different shapes, sizes and colors can be combined in a repeating pattern on beading wire for the best aesthetic effect.Don’t finish the beaded wire like a book thong. Leave enough wire at the end to make a loop big enough to thread the finished end through to attach the ornament to your bottle opener.
