Annual Sleigh Bell Silver Ornaments For Christmas

Now that Christmas is just round the corner, why not make something decorative when you host your dinner parties? Check out this  decorative wine glass holder that will add a sense of style to your table decor.

There are a few fundamental dimensions that should not be deviated from without careful consideration to the impact they might have on the wine holders functionality.

1. Bottle Neck Hole:

This is a where the holder will fit onto the wine bottle. I’ve used a hole 30-32mm in diameter. This will fit any standard wine bottle. Make the hole too small and it won’t fit onto the bottle, make it too large and the holder slides too far down the bottle neck. This can be changed if you have a particular bottle you need to use.

2. Glass Stem Hole:

This is where the glass will sit in the holder. I’ve used a 14mm hole, you can go larger but this will affect the design of the hook later on.

The centre of this hole should be 80mm from the centre of the bottle neck hole. If you have a bottle with a larger outer diameter or wider glasses, then this dimension can be increased.

3. The Hook:

This is formed by creating a 10mm gap in the glass stem hole. The hook faces towards the bottle so that the glass “falls” into the hook and not out of it. You can create the gap by making a 10mm hole with it’s centre 5mm from the centre of the glass stem hole.

DIY: Christmas Decorative Wine Glass Holder

Most people are busy putting away the Christmas ornaments and doing some home cleaning. Others would even be moving furniture here and there, much of which were displaced to make way for the usual Christmas decorations from the past holidays. Once you are finished putting away the decors, you may notice that some other things like an old chair or a magazine rack would be better off stocked. In short, the new year can signal a whole new design trend as far as new home decorations are concerned.

Evaluate your place and look for that sweet spot in you that typifies a comfortable living environment. Along the year, you are bound to put in new stuff like ornaments or maybe antiques. People buy them while others may get them as gifts. In short, weigh out your space and see what approach pulls you away from being cramped. It is the best way to enjoy your home and you can just place some back if you feel that you still want to see them around the place.

January is the perfect time to rethink your living space. After you’ve put away all the holiday decorations, says interior designer Janine Carendi, “you can look at the same space with a new perspective, which is what the new year is all about.”
