I
just LOVE these lightweight
charms!
Here are a few ideas to get
you started on different ways
to use them.
Most of the gifts I give are
handmade - and here's a perfect
example. The picture to the
right is a lace bag holding
a special blend of potpourri
I mixed up. Add a couple of
ribbons to close the bag
and tie on four of the
Flutter
By colorful
charms.
I double-dare you to say that
looking at it doesn't make
you smile. |

For something a bit more elegant,
here's a Wedding favor created
for the Maid-of-Honor and Bridesmaides.
A gorgeous satin and beaded
bag, holding a specially chosen
gift, tied with a ribbon and
embellished with one of the A
Wedding colorful charms. |
As
much as I'd like to, I simply
cannot take credit for this
incredible Diaper
Cake! A
good friend spent a weekend
creating it for her daughter's
baby shower; it will be her
first grandchild.
She used disposable diapers,
washcloths, bibs, small stuffed
animals, pacifers, a picture
frame, ribbons, some of our
baby
buttons and the Baby
Time colorful
charms. And she has the
nerve to say she isn't creative!
WOW.

How
about a quick and easy-to-do
project for a pre-teen our
young teens birthday party
or sleep over.
All this necklace and earring
combination took was three
different colors of 1/8" or
1/4" satin ribbon - cut
at least twice the diameter
of your neck.
Tie one or more of our Ladies
Night colorful
charms to the
ribbon - add knots evenly spaced
along the length of the ribbon.
Simply tie loosely being your
neck to secure.
To make the earring we used
two colorful charms, two fishhook
earwires and two jump
rings. Attach one jump ring
to each charm, then to each
fishhook earwire. Close the
jump ring.
That's all it takes! |
