larrycat Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 Where is a good place to look for charms to attach around the neck of my container candles? I think they would look cute if secured with elastic cord, etc.! A little something to add to the look.:undecidedNot sure where to find them; I did a search and the results were not what I expected, for the most part. Thanks for your help!

LauraInNY Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 Bittercreek carries them. I would think you could go to michaels or joann's and look in their jewelry dept and find any number of items that would work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll take a look at Michaels when I get up to the mall. Appreciate it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bev Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 I make my own cards and sometimes attach a charm to them. I go looking at the dollar stores. Sometimes you can find a charm bracelet with 7 or more charms on it for only $1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holly Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 Hi Larrycat,I use charms on some of my small decorative jars. I did not a lot of searching a few months ago and saved these in my favorites:http://www.fancifulsinc.com/ -- I have ordered from them -- fasthttp://www.frostcreekcharms.com/Mall/lobby.htmhttp://www.beadsandcharms.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWCATS&Category=636http://www.firemountaingems.com/charms_pendants.asphttp://www.thevirtualtouch.com/pewter.htmlhttp://www.beadland.com/charmsxmas.htmhttp://www.njsweddingshop.com/brass_charms_us.htmI have also ordered from Bittercreek. They have mostly the smaller ones but have some good ones. I think charms add a great touch to a candle. I made some valentine candles which I put charms on. I also got some really pretty ones from Michaels to use for Valentine's Day. They were a little more expensive, but they were just right. The one thing I do not like about buying online is it is a back-breaking, neck-aching experience looking through all the charms on the computer. ugh There are a lot to go through. Have fun! ~Holly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blest2BAmerican Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 Michael's and Walmart carry them in packages. Also, some scrapbooking stores carry them and other craft stores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xsami3000x Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 Try looking at the jewelry making suppliers, artbeads.com comes to mind as they have pewter charms (cheap and who cares if it turns you skin green you wont be wearing them) and they also have free shipping! (takes a little bit but no more than ups ground and probably sooner).Sami Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larrycat Posted February 27, 2006 Author Share Posted February 27, 2006 Thanks for all of your suggestions. I do appreciate it. You're right, Holly. So many to look through! I like the idea of a charm bracelet! You would be sure to have a few at that point. Again; THANKS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
