I have been having fun making charms so I
wanted to show you how to do them ~
The first thing is to get a blank charm ~
Then you decide what you want to put in the charm as far as
an image ~ I used a little piece of vintage sheet music
and a rose charm that I cut the ring off of~
It is kind of tricky getting the image to fit
exactly on the inside so I just
measured the inside and cut ~
I kept trimming it until it fit ~
You can find tons and tons of images online and some are
already sized for you ~
The next step is to glue your image down and
then glue your
little charm to the top of that ~
I used jewelry tweezers to hold the
charm and place it which helps a ton ~
Then I used a product called DG3 Art Gel
( you can get it on amazon )
This you will use to fill in your charm ~
It may get little bubbles so you just
poke those with a paint brush or a
straight pin to pop them ~
There are several different
products out there right now
that work great to fill the charm in ~
The gel shrinks a bit so after it dries
you may need to put another layer ~
Give it a couple hours drying time
between laters ~
That is it !!
There are tons and tons of different things
you can do with the charm blanks ~
You can find some on my website
and I will be adding more ~
