Handmade charms for the cricut messageboard

I am hosting a handmade free for all charm swap on the message board. This is what I came up with. Pretty simple but I wanted something that could be used on a variety of projects. All I did was have hubby flattened bottle caps, punched dictionary paper, inked the sides, adhered with double stick tape, then filled with glossy accents. I let them dry for over a day then punched holes in the top and thread brown satin ribbon through, the new owners can change this if they wish. I sure hope they will like them.

Remember to scroll down one post for a giveaway from the awesome Regina at Cutting Cafe!

  1. Love your bottle caps. I have several bottle caps that I painted and made little embellies out of them. I will have to try the glossy accents on some of them. I will look for them tonight and try to post them on my blog tomorrow for you to see. By the way your husband did a great job flatten them.

  2. Crystal,
    Your charms are great! May I ask what your husband used to flatten the bottle caps? Shari (cricutrookie)

  6. These are soooo cool and I know just the project I would use them on if I had some...lol. Might have to try my hand at them. I know someone already asked, but I am curious also about what hubby used to flattened the caps.
    Thanks for sharing your beautiful work with us!
