I saw this message in a bottle and thought it was cute, but it involved stamping metal, so I made my own! You could also make this into a necklace!

Using the wire cutters, cut the floral wire about 1” to 1½” long.
Taking the sharper edge of the floral wire, stick it through the cork. (You can trim the floral wire if you feel it’s too long, but you’ll want at least half an inch sticking out.) Then, take the needle nose pliers, and twist the underside of the cork. (This ensures that the floral wire won’t slip out. Twist the top part of the cork as well. It should look like this (or similar).
Now, I attached three jump rings to the floral wire.
I attached another jump ring with a charm (of your choice) to the middle jump ring.
Now, take the head pin, add some beading. Then, take the needle nose and twist the open end so that the beads won’t fall off.
Attach the head pin to some jump rings and add another charm (if you’d like). Then, attach it to a key ring, along with the set attached to the cork.
Take the piece of paper and write what you’d like on it. Make sure it will fit in the vial that you’re using. Then roll it up. I used a tiny little rubber hair tie to hold it closed.
Place the note in the vial and place the cork in. You’re done!
