Charm Me

For this swap, you will create and receive six charms, One (1) charm for six (6) different partners. 6 total charms.

They can be fabric, recycled items, felting, metal, clay or any material you choose to work with. Use stamping, embossing powders, beads, whatever moves you to create and embellish your charms.

Your charms can be any theme you want and you may wish to create charms based on your partner’s profile but it is completely up to you.

Some Things to Note:

1. Keep in mind your size when creating charms, they will be part of jewelry or another crafty creation. Please limit size to no more than 2” in diameter.

2. They must be ready to hang(i.e. include jump rings)

3. Please make sure your charms are durable(coated if they contain paper, etc)

4. If you use an adhesive, dimensional glaze or any other sticky and/or smelly product to construct your charms, make sure they air out a few days before sending them out.

5. They do not all have to be the same, or different, but they do need to be well made. Don’t forget to make one for yourself!
