Charms to add that special touch.Charms add a luxury dimension to your creations and can be attached in a number of ways.
They come in a rainbow of colours, as well as gold and silver, to match all themes.
Just choose one that compliments your design.
There are dragonflys, Angels, snowmen, fruits, flowers, leaves, stars, snowflakes, any thing you desire, and they all look fabulous.
Make a small cross on the card in the position you want it to be, and push the closed pins through. Open the pins on the inside of the card.
When using adhesives make sure it is suitable to hold the metal in place. Silicone is very good and some glue dots also do the job.
Check the packaging before you buy.
Another way is to attach it with narrow ribbon. Thread this through the hole and attach the ribbon to the card with a brad, leaving the charm to hang freely.
Alternatively use thread, and then either attach as you would the ribbon or use glue to secure the ends. Or with a paper needle stitch it to the card.
There are small clasps you can add with a jump ring, and this can then just be clipped to some adornment on your card. For instance a piece of lace or ribbon, or a die cut that has been used.
The little heart shaped tag has been fastened to the silver die cut swirl and says.... "Handmade with love"
This silver Strawberry is fastend to the back of the flower, and hangs loosely, along the left hand side of the card.
A very pretty way to add dimension to your special cards. Remember to add "Handmade by... "your name"..." on the back of the card. More magic!

My favourite technique is to use jump rings with a length of thin chain, and fasten beneath a flower, with the brad.
