Charming!




I belong to Atcards.com (Artist Trading Card Forums) and I recently entered the Altered Small Objects Charm Swap.

Each charm is made from two washers. They are decorated with alcohol inks and have a tiny collage/picture on each side that I sealed with Glossy Accents.

These were so much fun to make! When I make my next set of them for friends and family I'll post a tutorial so everyone can enjoy them!

I really like these charms, and at first I couldn't believe these were just plain washers!! You have transformed them from somethingplain to something unique, almost like a treasure. Thanks for sharing!

Wow. These are really nice. I saw an article on decoraing washers in Cloth,Paper, Scissors but yours are much nicer. I know of a woman who tried the articles way of decorating the washers who got one she liked out of a whole batch. I think I will mention your tutorial to her.

By the way, I've added you to my feeds so I can keep up with what you make. I found you on the Bead and Button forum.

Thanks everyone! I'll post more tutorials in the future. If you happen to make your own version of these charms let me know, I'd love to see photos!
