Halloween Charms

Oct 02, 2015 15:55

Halloween is only a few weeks away, so I've been playing around, making Halloween phone/handbag charms and a few pairs of earrings. I've made 24 charms so far and about a dozen pairs of earrings, which I haven't photographed because they're just metal charms on ear wires for pierced ears, but here's some of the charms.

Well, I bought the actual charms, I just had to attach them to cords, not a huge deal - length of cord, end crimp, split ring, charm, and it's done. I thought they'd be fun.

Thank you!

They're quite lightweight - the webs are about an inch across but light enough to make earrings, which I've done with one pair =)

yay! That'll be fun for you!

Not great at the moment, had to go for blood tests this morning and I should get the results at the end of the week. Keep your fingers crossed for me!

Let me know if you want one of the Halloween charms I've been making, I've made more than 4 dozen already and when I get the rest of the charms I've ordered I'll be making some more =)

Thanks, D!

I'm busy getting ready, already bought candy, I have my witches' hat from last year and Collin says he's got a cape I can wear. I've made little pumpkin charm earrings for me to wear, and the bag charms to hand out. Oh, and I have balloons! It's going to be fun =)

I'll send you a charm, just tell me which you'd like! I'm going to make some more.

ooh cool, thank you so much - I love the creepy hand one but any would be wonderful. I'm just getting over a rotten cold which, with everything else, has completely floored me, so this is a lovely treat to restore a smile.
*hugs tight*
T always dresses up to answer the door [tho I tell him he's scary enough without the mask! LOL] and I have my bats-in-bouncy-stalks-headband and cream with bats sweatshirt.
We'll have to swap pics after the event :))
Love always

Creepy hand is no problem, I have a lot of those 'cause they're cool! I made another set today, different charms, and when I get a few more charms (witches, cats...) I'll make a third post.

Second set is here:

I've made four of each design so far, four dozen charms already! I'll probably make another couple of dozen before I'm done!

It's a Saturday so I'll see if there's anyone around who'll be able to photograph me!

Feel better soon! *hugs* Love, J xx

Love them all, especially the jack-o'-lantern - so CUTE! :)

Thank you! The charms themselves are pretty cheap to buy, then it's just a case of making the cords. I've got some other, smaller, pumpkin jack-o'-lanterns which I've used to make earrings. I'm going to wear them on Halloween =)
