Make the Bag Charm Base and Background

You’ll need some kind of charm that can hang on a key ring or ball chain. I am using some small circles cut from acrylic plastic. You could use a wood disk instead if desired.

Determine your background design with patterned paper. I torn a piece of patterned paper and added it on a second piece with the E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser. Then cover the paper with Dual Tip Glue Pen. Set the disk on it and move the disk around, evening out the glue and pushing out the excess. Let dry completely. Once dried, trim the excess paper from the disk.

Wear Your Adhesive on the Outside with 3D Foam Stars

Place 3D Foam Stars on to the disk with the top liner on. Remove the liner on one of the stars and cover a piece of Platinum foil from the Metallic Transfer Foil in Nature Colors (color side facing you) and rub to transfer the color to the star. Reapply the foil in missed areas. So easy!

For another design idea, apply Extreme Double-Sided Tape 1/8in to the edges of the disk and add foil for extra WoW!

Thread the chain through your charm, add a colorful tassel and finish with a keyring. Now it’s ready to hang your charm on any bag or a purse.

I hope you are inspired by this tutorial to try making a few bag clip charms of your own.  

Happy Creating!
