Frida Charms- Handmade

I love Frida Kahlo. I know other swap-botters out there do too so I thought I would combine this with a favourite pastime of mine, making charms.

You need to make 4 charms altogether as the aim of this swap is to create 1 charm for each of your 4 partners based on the theme of Frida Kahlo. That way, we should end up with a wonderful variety of charms for our bracelet. Anything goes as long as the charms incorporate the theme and are durable enough to wear on a bracelet. The charms can be made from scratch using whatever you like, be it metal, beads, clay, felt, shrink plastic, fimo, wood etc. Or, if you prefer, you can alter existing items such as bottle caps, scrabble tiles, dominoes, poker chips, chipboard shapes, pendants, and vintage lockets by embellishing with the appropriate imagery and anything else you fancy. Size wise, I'd say the charms should be between 1-2 inches including any dangly bits and the jump ring. Please DO NOT FORGET to attach a jump ring or split ring so that the charm can be added to a bracelet as soon as your partner receives your unique creation.

Google ''Frida Kahlo'' and check out handmade charms and pendants on flickr or etsy for inspiration.

A rating of 4.9 or more is required to join this swap. Any newbies interested in joining please contact me first. I will check profiles and ban any suspect swappers before assigning partners as I am not able to angel this swap should someone flake.

PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU SEND CHARMS THAT YOU WOULD BE HAPPY TO RECEIVE YOURSELF SO THAT YOUR PARTNER CAN WEAR YOUR CREATION WITH PRIDE. THIS IS A SWAP REQUIREMENT AND YOU WILL BE RATED ACCORDINGLY.

Any questions please feel free to ask.
