Making Charms

I adore charms! I have received a package of Tim Holtz charm blanks and thought it would be fun to share the fun. For this swap I will send to each participant, the charm blanks and you will use your paper supplies to make and send 5 completed charms. A quick walk through of how to make them

1. receive the charm blanks

2. pick paper scraps/ or create paper with interesting backgrounds or perhaps an interesting focal point.

3. adhere paper to the charm blank with an embellishment glue (I use glossy accents) and then if you want a quick seal of the back of the paper will make them extra sturdy.

4. if you want to add extras or few extra embellishments to complete the charm

As this is a first for me and perhaps others who are interested I am making step four optional. The swap is for the completed charms.

here is a tutorial: tutorial

I am looking forward to learning a new craft with all of you. This swap is open to everyone who wishes to participate. While this is senders choice as to how to finish the charms, as always a quick glance at your partners profile will allow you to send something they can use as well. I am allowing plenty of time to send as I anticipate sending some charms overseas!
