Some Handbag Charms I Made Today

I needed to do a little something creative today and take a short break from Gather today so I made these. I plan on making a few more things with my beads this week.

I had some larger sterling silver chain left over from when I made a rosary for someone. I attached some beads for the charms. Of course, my son wanted me to tell everyone that he helped me pick out the beads.

Here is a photo of this one on my purse. I really like this one alot because it is larger than the other one and I use a large purse.

 

This is one that I made using Tiger tail beading wire and some seed beads along with crackle beads.

 

I like this one too but it is a little small for my taste. Here it is on my purse.

Pretty, I like to beadwork, I tried once and really enjoyed it. It is time consuming for the patterns I was working with.

hi there, cool idea and i have done similar,but more of just dangle charms n' beads rather than the bracelet style...sorry am late seeing these...very pretty!

Thanks for posting to my Artisan Goods group!

cheers,gayle *tell your son he did a great job with the bead choices
Member Photog Apr 1, 2008, 4:57am EDT
oops! forgot to say that the 2nd pic down which shows the purse has excellent clarity!...good product photography
Karolyn Q. Apr 3, 2008, 9:07pm EDT
Thank you Gayle! I had fun making it a little different than the usual. Thank you for the compliment too on the photo. I really need a new camera since mine does not have a macro setting. I can't get really good closeups of my jewelry most of the time.
