Christmas Beads and Phone Charms

Good Morning,

Wednesday Woo Hoo - another addiction revealed - luckily my addictions are good for me!!  This addiction is...... making phone charms.... not for me to keep (thank goodness) but to give away as gifts.  Most of my friends and relatives would tell you that they have at least 1 phone charm that I have made for them.  I think the first phone charms I made were the Angels I blogged about a few days ago.  The second ones were these beautiful dragonflies....


 
Every Christmas I try to give Family / Friends a phone charm - here are a few examples of some of the ones I have given - I have also made other Christmas Trees, Snowflakes etc...
 
 
 
 
 
Last year I found these kits at Beads Online and had to buy them!  I also purchased more of the domino / wooden tiles /beads thinking they were the same - but they were actually smaller and had holes in the sides as well - so I just wired beads through those holes as well - except for the black ones (the non Christmas ones) - I just left the side holes empty.

The dominoes were blank, I used diamond glaze to adhere the picture and then added another layer of diamond glaze - and it is as easy as that!
 

 This is a closer view of the Santa ones.



I chose small sections of some of my favourite papers to make these ones.











I have also made many other charms - owls, Australiana etc - your imagination is only limited by your bead choice!!  What charms do you have hanging from your phone or your bag??

I will have to decide which charms I am making this Christmas.....
Have a great day!
