Use Metal-Bag Charm

For this weeks challenge of ‘Use Metal…’ I thought it a good opportunity to make a bag charm – I do like making these!

I gave myself the challenge of making it just using metal and no beads or buttons.  So a look in my stash produced some metal stars, zip pull, Tim Holtz Word Key and some chain.  The only concession I made away from metal was a little chain of crystals, which just sets it off.

I used my trusty Fiskars pliers throughout, of course.  The whole thing was very quick and easy to make and a great idea for a present – my daughter Abi especially likes to give them to her friends so some made in advance is always useful!

Look forward to seeing your take on the challenge…… :)

    Cute Caroline, like the way you’ve added lots of Jump rings together to make the shapes dangle just where you want.
