Using Charms on cards and....

[netheadred]

Last night at Wal-Mart I found some cute little charms that are just calling my name do do something with. In the wedding section (not sure all WMs have this section but we do) I found a packet of 50 silver heart charms that say LOVE on them. I also found a packet of 50 square silver charms that say THANK YOU. They have little jump rings on them so they would be easy to attach. They were $1.96 each!

Now, I just have to figure out what to do with them! Does anyone have any great samples or ideas for using charms on cards or anything else?

I think its cute to hang a charm from a bow or a knot. Adds something extra. It could be done on a card, or scrap page, well anything really

I have attached them by tying them on with ribbon or hemp.

I was at a craft show and a lady was selling cards that were so simple but pretty. She used 2 coordinating DP (one on top half, one on bottom half), had a ribbon across the middle seam where the paper met and had a charm hanging from the ribbon. She used the same charm but different papers and sold them in sets of 4. She sold a lot of them!

Hope this helps!

Last year for Valentine's at a workshop we made a vintage looking card with a distressed background and a large vintage style heart. We used mini glue dots to attach some cute brass charms in the center of the heart -- tiny heart locket with tiny key.
