Bag Charm
In the fall, there are plenty of cozy afternoons perfect for doing crafts. 🍂 Anne really wanted one of those cute bag charms, so we got to work together. We gathered our materials, sat down at the kitchen table, and made something beautiful together.
Materials:
– felt (various colors)
– colored yarn
– needle
– scissors
– cotton stuffing
– beads
– glue (optional)
– keychain hook
1. Choose a color of felt for the base of the bag charm. Cut out two identical heart shapes, and cut out decorative elements—such as a flower or a sun—from felt in contrasting colors.
2. Use a needle and thread to embroider the decorative details onto one of the heart shapes. You can also embroider small beads for extra decoration.
3. Place the two heart shapes on top of each other. Sew them together, leaving a small opening. Stuff the heart with some cotton batting and sew the opening closed.
4. Thread the beads onto small metal pins or wires. Use pliers to make loops at the ends. Then attach the beads to a metal ring or chain.
5. Sew or glue a small loop to the top of the heart. Attach the heart and the beaded pendant to a keyring or keychain clip using pliers. Your beautiful bag charm is ready!
Of course, you can also use it as a keychain.
Love, Daphne
