Lunagirl Moonbeams by Lunagirl Vintage Images: How to Create Altered Art Charms

Altered art charms are really hot right now. They're so beautiful and fun, and not as difficult to make as you might think. Many of the people selling bracelets are using Lunagirl images. Scroll down for some easy, basic instructions. I'm sure there are others ways to do this, but I'll share what works for me.

PRINT & CUT OUT YOUR IMAGE First, choose your image! To make charms it is best to print the image onto fairly thick acid-free paper or photo paper. After printing, place your blank charm setting on the picture and trace around it, then clip out the picture with some good very sharp scissors (it's good to first cut it slightly larger than you want, then trim it down). There are several people selling the metal charm blank settings on ebay. GLUE ON THE IMAGE You can glue the image into or onto the setting with a hot glue gun, or better yet with a good general purpose craft glue, then smooth it down nicely.

HAVE FUN CREATING! Travel Bracelet step by step. Sorry it has taken me a while to get back to you guys with the instructions for the travel bracelet, life just gets in the way of things sometimes.

Travel Bracelet step by step

Anyway, I guess better late than never. This is the photo that I previously posted of the bracelet but since then I came to the conclusion that it was lacking something so it has been tweaked a bit since then, finished item can be seen at the end of this post. So for this project, I used Tim Holtz CMS108 Travel Labels and CMS102 Air travel, Paperartsy Fresco Finishes Snowflake paint, shrink plastic, Broken China and Antique Linen Distress Stains, Stazon Ink, Gold Krylon pen and lots of Tim Holtz Idea-ology goodies. Are you sitting comfortably....then I'll begin. Pour a puddle of Paperartsy's Snowflake Fresco Finish paint on your craft sheet and use a piece of cut'n'dry foam to apply a thin layer of paint on a sheet of shrink plastic. When you are happy that the paint is dry, use Stazon ink to stamp all your images. They look so pretty!! Lin. Teeny Tiny Leather Spell Book Tutorial.
