Measure 3 to 4 inches of the copper wire, and cut off 8 lengths.
20 gauge wire
Hold middle of the wire against your round mold with one thumb.
With your other thumb, slide along the length of the wire to mold it to your cylinder, then repeat on the other side. The ends of your wire should cross.
Grasp the very end of one side of the wire with needle nose pliers, and twist towards the loop to create a small hook.
Slide charm and beads onto hoop from open end.
8 wine charms, 16 complementary beads
Grasp the open end of your loop with the pliers. Bend it up to create a 90 degree angle.
Test your hook and loop to ensure they hold, then repeat for each charm.

You can use any color for the wire, make sure it's a 20 gauge as it's easier to manipulate.
