Handbag Charms

[dee_liteful]

I am just in the process of trying to come up with some good ideas to add to my site and i'm thinking of making some fabric handbag charms. If you were to purchase some what 'theme' would you go for? I am already thinking along the lines of small animals and fashion related items, but would anything else float your boat?!
All ideas welcome Thanyou

Definitely the animals, or something angelic, angel wings or something like that!

Ooooh yes little angels would be nice, i have never had a go at angels and fairies before-i guess this would be a good time to start!
Flowers also for the summer Thank you xx

Well i have made my first move and have purchased my keyring bits (i don't know the professional name!) from ebay...just got to make them now! Ooooh am excited now just want them delivered so i can get busy!x

I think they are called trigger clasps or swivel clips - I bought some a couple of weeks ago because I fancy a go at bag charms too! Not to sell though, just for me and my pals!

Yours sound really nice - I like the idea of angels/fairies too. I found a brilliant tutorial for making tiny wire and bead angels a while ago, I have probably got it in my favourites if you fancy a go! They are cute! I know you said fabric, but if you are swayed. .

Have fun! Oooh and piccies when you're done pretty please!

They are lovely arent they?

I made mine much, much tinier than this with less coils as that many would have looked too much on a tiny one. I used a small 8mm (I think) peach glass pearl as a head, and some of the tiniest seed beads for the halo. It was a bit fiddly but not too bad. I think my little angels were probably only about 5cm or less!

If you do make any angels or fairies please post pics as I would be interesting in buying one (or more)

[dee_liteful]

Will do!!! I kinda made a mouse instead the other day I started with the fairy but had the urge to change it into an animal! But i will post soon as
