Simple Bag Charm

My recently bought handbag inspired me to adorn it with a simple bag charm. I haven't been into jewelry making crafts lately and my supplies have been sitting there for awhile now. The hardware used in the handbag are in antique gold color and I happened to have this little antique gold chain that is too short for a bracelet, so I thought, there it would be it's purpose after all! I don't have an antique gold clasp so I used a toggle lock with rose design.

Still inspired, I made one for my other bag. The chunky beads in pastel colors are made of acrylic and the deep colors are glass. I combined the pastel and deep colors so that it will not be too funky and formal.

To give my other bag the same attention (lol), I also made one for it. The black tassel is velvet, which used to cover the wire of a necklace that I do not use. It's really a great feeling to be able to create something nice using things from my stash. It makes me feel all the more creative!

  2. These are really lovely, what a great idea. I could do with whipping a few of these up as they'd make such lovely presents.
