Hi from a new subbie in Canada! 😸After looking at the video list of your projects, I just had to subscribe. These little charms are beautiful...good thing I have been saving packaging and food boxes! Lol I'll be making some of these for sure. I also cut flower & veggie pics from seed catalogues, and glue them onto packaging. I just can't throw away greeting cards either. Punching flowers etc. out of them, recycles those as well, and they often have pretty images. Thanks for the tutorial - and making mistakes is how we learn. Leaving them in a video shows us what NOT to do, so even that is helpful. Lol Off to watch more of your videos! 😺
Hello and welcome to the channel Anne! I'm really glad you liked the video and that it inspired you. Oh, we can use a lot of things around us, I never throw away anything anymore, lol. And no one in the house is allowed to throw anything unless I approve first 🤣. You never know what treasures can be found in the recycling bin🤣. Thank you so much for subscribing and watching and your lovely comment ❤️😊
❤ is beautiful work you doing but I will like if you can write for us what are you using from likvid . I have little problem to understand . Sorry is not you . Thanks for sharing and understanding 🙏
While I was watching this video I had a flashback thought to about 30 years ago when we made earrings just as you are making these charms cutting shapes, gluing or painting pictures on the shapes. Then we sealed our "charms" using clear embossing powder. Great memories and bringing forward the idea to use for a new craft that have just began to enjoy.
Oh wow, those earrings must have been so special and unique! I used to make these charms to go on a leather string to wear around the neck, but earrings sounds so much better! Thank you for bringing the idea forward. Love it! ❤️😊
You're very welcome Deborah! I'm glad you liked the video. I was pleasantly surprised when the embossing plates distressed the charms so perfectly. I'm glad you are going to try! Thank you for watching and for your kind comment ❤️
Hello from Sweden ❤😊 These charms are indeed Lovely I love to make charms, paperclips etc for journals too. Your journals shown are absolutely Beautiful ❤️ Thank you so much for sharing and inspiring Saasibo and Happy new Year 🎆🎊😁🍾🥂
I'm a new sub! I love these! I've done similar ones using napkins on book pages then glued it on packaging and punched it out... The little homemade charms always add such a lovely touch to any project! ❤️❤️
Hello and welcome to the channel! Glad to have you subscribed. Thank you so much! Napkins on book pages sounds great. I have to try that technique one day. I love charms, especially handmade ❤️❤️
I love these Dragana, what a great idea! I'm always saving my packaging and now I am inspired to make some of these. Putting them through the die cut machine was a great idea too, the distressed look is fantastic!
Thank you so much Pam! I'm really glad you liked the video. Distressing them with a die cut machine was a happy accident! I'm going to be using that technique on other things, too. ❤️😊
Just a quick tip from an older artist. Use toothpicks while applying varnish. Have a piece of flower arranging foam (the sort put into pot bottoms etc.) Stick each toothpick into this foam and let it dry UP and away from everything. You can dry many at one time, depending on the size of the piece of foam. Works great. Fun tips on making these little charms. thank you.
These are really amazing!! If you place a piece of thick card on each side before placing the clips, it will prevent the clip from causing indentations on your charm. Thank you for sharing these!
This is such a cool idea…the charms look really pretty. I like the tip on using the pokey tool to hold the charm when you’re varnishing and the pin to hold it up whilst drying.✔️ I have actually been cutting small circle tags today, so I will leave my set out to make some charms. Awesome, thank you…♥️
You're most welcome! I'm really glad you liked the video and got inspired to make some charms. Thank you so much for watching and for your kind comment. Much appreciated 😊❤️
as a junk journal creator, I have become a paper and packaging hoarder, I don't look at paper and packaging in the same way any more, even my husband now will save stuff for me, Lol, love the charms very good idea and thank you for sharing................
You're very welcome! I'm glad you liked the video. Oh, I totally get what you mean, my husband asks now if he can throw things out 🤣, and I'm glad he does because I saved a few interesting things for my crafts thanks would otherwise end up in the trash 🤣
I could listen to your voice all day long! Makes watching your tutorials easy. I love it when tutor's don't have to talk every second. Spaces of silence are golden. Plus the added sanding sound is nice. Wow! Your journals! Watching more. This is my 1st of yours. Subscribed as soon as I heard your voice.
Aww, thank you so much! I'm happy you enjoyed the video. Sometimes I get so into crafting that I forget that I'm recording 😆, so I go silent. I'm glad you didn't mind. ❤️
These are so beautiful and made from the most simple material, I will definitely make some! Thank you so much for continuously sharing your talent . Your videos are always presented in such a calm ,soothing manner, so nicely presented. 🥰
Your charms are so beautiful! I love each one. Also, all your tips and ideas are so very helpful. I will be making some charms. Years ago I used similar techniques along with stamped and colored images to make pins to swap at rubber stamp conventions with fellow stampers. I remember loving the entire process of creating them. It was such fun! With your encouragement and your tutorial, I will definitely add these charms to my list. I think they would be perfect for even a charm bracelet. Pretty, pretty, pretty. Many thanks and wishes for happy winter holidays to you and yours. 🎄🎁🤶🏽🎅🏽🎉🥂🤩
Thank you so, so much! I'm very happy that you liked the video and the whole idea of making charms. Indeed, it's a lot of fun and I find it to be relaxing activity. I think they would look lovely on a bracelet. Excellent idea! I haven't tried making pins and now that you've mention it, I feel I should try that too. It sounds wonderful! Thank you again for watching and for this kind comment, I really appreciate it! All the best to you and your loved ones, too! ❤️🎄😊
Thank you so much! I currently have over 60 tutorials on making journals and journal related things. Here is the link to the tutorial playlist: Tutorials DiY ruclips.net/p/PLspeGmuSVX4ihxah07CV89tlUUYZRAKH9 I hope you enjoy watching ❤️
These are soooo pretty and now I'm so inspired. I can't wait to make some jewelry for my paper projects. Thank you for your generosity. So glad I subscribed to your channel. Oh I had an idea, turn your squares up on point for a diamond like shape. Hugs, b

Hello and welcome to the channel! I'm really glad you enjoyed the video and I'm so happy you got inspired. Thank you very much for watching and subscribing and for this lovely comment ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for the fantastic tips, love to make these sort of charms, never used packaging materials like that. The drying tip with the pins are great ! Will try this method soon!
Just I was about to go to bed I see your latest video 🙈 Instead of going to bed now I would rather make these wonderful charms 😊 what a good idea to hang them on 💡👍🏻
Thank you so much Steffi! I'm really glad you got inspired! Sorry for disrupting you sleeping 😆 I'm like that most of the time! I'd rather craft than sleep 🤣
Sure, I bought mine 4-5 years ago in a shop in Australia. Perhaps someone might have them. This is the name and serial number Sizzix Framelits Die Set 9PK - Tags #662838
My Head Is Overloaded With Inspiration & Ideas You Give For Your Beautiful Charms! Thank You For Taking The Time To Make The Tutorial and Using Recycled Items, Many of Which You May Already Have at Home. Can Really Save Some Money Making Your Own! I’ve Never Made a Journal But Getting a Glimpse of Yours, I Believe I’ll Give It a Try!
Oh, that is so wonderful Kathy! Your comment inspired me to keep doing more videos like this! Thank you so much for that! I agree with you, making our own charms can save us money, we also save the environment from unnecessary waste, and in the process we make unique little pieces of art that make us happy. I'm glad you are going to give it a try ❤️❤️❤️
I haven't used Mod Podge Glossy because I couldn't find any here, but I don't see why not. It would be interesting to know what sort of a result it gives. 😊
You can buy disposable latex finger cots like little condoms for keeping your fingers clean and also not to add oil from your skin to your projects. I used them when I worked at my dad’s microcircuit company. I think drug stores sell them or buy online. I love your procedure. I want to make little charms from packaging for boho necklaces I’ll also use beads and metal charms on them. 🥰 Minnetonka Minnesota where we are still in a 3day snowstorm. ☃️
Thank you so much for that information. I'll be looking for these for sure. Glad you enjoyed the video and got inspired. I hope the storm subsided by now and that you and yours are safe. ❤️😊
I have actually made something like a finger cots using the disposable gloves we were all using to stay safe a few years ago. You can get four decent ones and one large lol from each glove. Not as perfect as a finger cot but with the cot edge roll down, they stay on pretty good.
Ohh Dragana these charms are beautiful,thank you for sharing I was actually cutting up some packaging when I saw your video,so now I will be making some!xx
I’ve been looking for a little something to make for gifts at a Stitching Retreat ….. needle minders and scissor fobs would be gorgeous using this technique
You can still use clips to hold the charms together as they dry. Just make a little protective folder out of some thick enough packaging to cover/protect the charm. Take the piece of packaging, fold it in half (like a small "folder"), slip the charm inside that folder, then clip. This will protect the drying charms from the clip marks. If you still see marks, either get a thicker piece of packaging or add another layer. ➡️ OR try using clothespins instead of the metal clips. They hold well but are not as tight so they leave little or no marks. ➡️ ALSO, if you already have "dent" marks, sometimes you can smooth or rub them out with the back of your fingernail, or a bone folder, or popsicle stick. ✅ (I use all of these tricks, all of the time, and they work very well.) And, BTW, your work is very nice.👏
Thank you for the tips and tutorial on this. I have all these tools and will start making these to put on my cards and gift to friends. Very cute charms.
You are so welcome! I'm glad it was helpful and that you feel inspired to make some! It's a lot of fun! Thank you so much for watching and for your kind comment ❤️😊
Hi, I am from the USA and just found your channel and a new subscriber. I just love it. Thank you for all your ideas. I know I am going to make some of these charms. :)
Thank you so much for watching and commenting! I'm glad you like them. Yes, heavy book on top is an excellent idea. That would give a nice flat finish! ❤️😊
Tons of ideas and inspirations, wondering what ales is possible. With the soothing and beautiful voice almost like a meditation. And everything happens live even the small accidents. Thank you so much for sharing your great ideas. A few strokes for your cat in BiH. And I also love your box with all the beautiful little charms.
You're welcome! Glad you liked them. I used acrylic water based gloss varnish by ArtDeco but any brand is fine. Water based acrylic varnishes dry faster than solvent based, but are less shiny. You can also use clear nail polish if you like. 😊❤️
Good Morning Dragana. Your video dropped into my feed today and l am so glad it did. Your charms are, well, "charming". Thank you for sharing your ideas; you have broken down the process, making your steps so easy to follow. I’m off now to watch more of your videos. Have a beautiful day, Barbara 🇦🇺 🦘
Good evening Barbara! Thank you so much for your nice comment. I'm glad you liked the video. I hope the weather is nice and warm in Australia, my home away from home ❤️😊
One reason that I like your channel is because you are so smart! We all see the pretty pictures on packaging but you solved the riddle of what to do with it!! Great job! I love them, and not even too difficult!! Thank you! 💕
I'm so glad you liked the video! We're surrounded by so much packaging on a daily basis and it's a great free resource to use and have some fun. Thank you so much for watching and for your kind comment. ❤️😊
Bonjour ! c'est magnifique ! je recherche un livre explicatif de cette technique et ou méthode, l'une d'entre vous peut elle me dire si elle connait svp merci infiniment ! Good morning ! that's wonderful ! I am looking for a book explaining this technique and or method, can one of you tell me if you know it please thank you very much!
Thanks for showing us how to do something really cool! I'm working on Envelope Notebooks (Luise Heinzel on YT) for Christmas, and these would be great in the Sari Silk that I'm going to wrap around them! Wonderful!! (I'm new here, too!)

You could also use scraps from scrapbook papers or images from greeting cards
Yes, anything made out of paper that has interesting little images would be perfect to use for these! ❤️
I honestly thought they were metal until you stated that, regardless, they're works of art!
Thank you so much! ❤️

Some heavy paper weights, books, could probably work...lovely creations, I must say!
Thank you so much! Anything that has a flat surface and it's heavy is much better than the clips 😆
I love these Dragana, what a great idea! I'm always saving my packaging and now I am inspired to make some of these. Putting them through the die cut machine was a great idea too, the distressed look is fantastic!
Thank you so much Pam! I'm really glad you liked the video. Distressing them with a die cut machine was a happy accident! I'm going to be using that technique on other things, too.

When hints need to be clamped to dry, I’ve found wooden clothes pins do the job without leaving a mark. I hope it helps. 11:06
Yes, thank you for the suggestion! I might try it next time. Great idea! 😊❤️

What kind of varnish? Thanks for the tutorial. 😊
I used water based acrylic gloss varnish. Brand is ArtDeco, but any brand would do. 😊
Wonderful Charm ideas! Why have I not thought of this! Each one is very pretty! Great Tutorial! TFS - Crafty Hugs!
You're very welcome! I'm glad you liked the idea! It can be taken further many different ways! Thank you so much for watching and commenting! ❤️❤️❤️
For the ‘varnish’, can one use Mod Podge glossy?
I haven't used Mod Podge Glossy because I couldn't find any here, but I don't see why not. It would be interesting to know what sort of a result it gives. 😊

Thank you so much for your valuable input! I appreciate it! Next time I make these charms I might apply some of your tricks 😊❤️
Thank you for the tips and tutorial on this. I have all these tools and will start making these to put on my cards and gift to friends. Very cute charms.

Very lovely.
Also nice to make Christmas gifts, to hang on the Christmas tree.
Ciao ciao from the Netherlands ❤
Thank you so much! Yes, ornaments for Christmas tree would work beautifully 😊❤️
Maybe a heavy book could be used on top of the charms to dry them. No clip marks on the back. Excellent use for scraps as middles, too. Great idea!
Thank you so much for watching and commenting! I'm glad you like them. Yes, heavy book on top is an excellent idea. That would give a nice flat finish! ❤️😊
What kind of varnish do you use? I wouldn’t think it is the type you use on wood, right?
I used water based acrylic varnish, bought it in a craft shop. It can be used on both wood or paper. 😊
This is fantastic and thet look so "finished". Very nice. Am excited to try it!
I'm very happy to know that! I hope you have lots of fun creating. Thank you so much for watching and for the kind comment ❤️
Such a clever idea. I plan to follow your instructions to make some of these. Thanks!

Tons of ideas and inspirations, wondering what ales is possible. With the soothing and beautiful voice almost like a meditation. And everything happens live even the small accidents. Thank you so much for sharing your great ideas. A few strokes for your cat in BiH. And I also love your box with all the beautiful little charms.
Thank you so much for watching and for your kind comment! I appreciate it. I’m going to go and pet my cat now. 😊❤️
These are lovely. I dont have any varnish, I think I will heat emboss them, maybe with Ultra Thick 💕
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed the video. Heat embossing is a good idea. 😊❤️
yes, that would be very nice
What is the varnish you used?I love this project. Thanks
You're welcome! Glad you liked them. I used acrylic water based gloss varnish by ArtDeco but any brand is fine. Water based acrylic varnishes dry faster than solvent based, but are less shiny. You can also use clear nail polish if you like. 😊❤️
Nice. maybe you should cut back on the caffeine in a little😂😂
🤣🤣🤣

Hi, where do you buy the vanish gloss top coat? Thanks
I bought mine in a local craft shop. I think they are available online, too. Just look for Water Based Acrylic Varnish in Gloss
Thanks for showing us how to do something really cool! I'm working on Envelope Notebooks (Luise Heinzel on YT) for Christmas, and these would be great in the Sari Silk that I'm going to wrap around them! Wonderful!! (I'm new here, too!)
