I know many of you have this issue: you buy beads to make jewelry and end up with some leftover beads…not enough to make anything else, unless you buy more beads!
I found a Pinterest post on making bag charms and using only stash and leftover beads, I made some charms to clang around on my bags.
I used tassels, charms, macrame cord, beads, old jewelry and found items. This is scrappy jewelry, I guess! I made a little kit to throw in these kind of things and will “purge” the kit when it gets full. This was actually fun putting stuff together.
Wow, this really is an amazing way to use those leftovers. I could see these added to holiday gifts, too. Just clip them onto the bows or ribbon for a little extra pizazz. Love.
I don’t carry a bag but maybe I should so I can make bag charms

You can clip them to anything, really. I made a bunch of smaller ones to attach as zipper pulls…they only have a couple of beads on them and will probably be more useful to me than bag charms…
Very cool! Reminds me of those busy, chunky tassels. They could be themed for occasions & hung as ornaments too.

Great idea! I have some leftover red and green beads…I am sure I can find some holiday themed charms and findings as well! I am in a make everything from stash/scrappy mood!
Fabulous idea! I may make a bunch of these to have on hand… I love the idea of using them on gift packaging and zipper pulls also!
