*Altered Charms* - International

I've heard of people doing charm swaps before, but I've never seen any here, so I decided to start one!

Altered charms are jewelry charms that are handmade and can be made from a number of different items. Think pennies, bottlecaps, guitar picks, game pieces, safety pins, washers, postage stamps, stickers, beads, paper, etc. Basically, anything you can think of! After you trade charms, you can use them to make necklaces, bracelets, earrings, or a number of other things.

For more ideas and pictures of charms, visit this website. Scroll down through the page, and you'll see some great examples of charms! http://justsimplycharming.blogspot.com/

• You will send 1 charm to each of your 3 partners, so you will be making 3 charms.
• Charms must include some sort of ring, clasp, etc so they can be connected to a necklace or bracelet.
• Provide an extra charms, beads, string, and/or jewelry making supplies for hearts! <3
• Take care in making your charms. Only send a charm that you would want to wear!
• This swap is international, as shipping for these will be relatively cheap.
• No newbies please (however, if you manage to get rated before sing-up ends, please join!), as a lot of work will be put into these charms, and I want everyone to get their charms! You must have a rating of 4.8 to participate! (If you were given an unfair rating and it caused you to go down, please PM me, and after I review your profile, I will make a decision.)

So get to making your charms! <3

If this charm swap becomes popular, then I would hope to have more of them so we can all get lots of charms! :)
