~*Handmade Bead Charms For Charm Day 2012*~






These are beads which I made yesterday using polymer clay and Swarovski Vitrail light rhinestones. I will be making charms in this style with different colors and patterns to give away in April, right here on this blog.

Those who participate by offering either handmade charms, charm making supplies or charm jewelry as giveaways on their blogs or sites will be eligible to enter to win in this category. :)

April 28th is almost here!
Start preparing now if you haven't already!

It's going to be a lot of fun this year!
