    Charm Tutorial

    I have been having fun making charms so I

    wanted to show you how to do them ~

    The first thing is to get a blank charm ~

    Then you decide what you want to put in the charm as far as

    an image ~ I used a little piece of vintage sheet music

    and a rose charm that I cut the ring off of~

    It is kind of tricky getting the image to fit

    exactly on the inside so I just

    measured the inside and cut ~

    I kept trimming it until it fit ~

    You can find tons and tons of images online and some are

    already sized for you ~

    The next step is to glue your image down and

    then glue your

    little charm to the top of that ~

    I used jewelry tweezers to hold the

    charm and place it which helps a ton ~

    Then I used a product called DG3 Art Gel

    ( you can get it on amazon )

    This you will use to fill in your charm ~

    It may get little bubbles so you just

    poke those with a paint brush or a

    straight pin to pop them ~

    There are several different

    products out there right now

    that work great to fill the charm in ~

    The gel shrinks a bit so after it dries

    you may need to put another layer ~

    Give it a couple hours drying time

    between laters ~

    That is it !!

    There are tons and tons of different things

    you can do with the charm blanks ~

    You can find some on my website

    and I will be adding more ~
