Zipper Pulls

Someone last year around Christmas time asked if I ever made zipper pulls so I decided to take a stab at putting some together today and I really like how they turned out.  These could be used as zipper pulls, key fobs or purse charms. They should take quite a bit of abuse since I made the clips out of some really heavy gauge wire and the loops with the beads are soldered.

Zipper Pulls,  Purse Charms or Key Fobs take your pick $15.00

Here is what they look like hanging

Purse Charms

I have been asked several times in the past few months if I make purse charms.  To tell you the truth I didn't even know what they were so after a photo search I decided that they were kinda a fun item so I sat down to the torch yesterday with an idea.  Often times what happens when I sit at the torch is the idea somehow gets lost and they never go any further.  What came out of the kiln today was quite amazing, I stayed on task and actually had pieces to make the purse charm that I had in my head.  I could never sell these because charging $50.00 -$80.00 for a purse charm isn't going to go over very well with my usual customer.  I am now the proud owner of a beautiful purse charm made with 24 of my glass beads.  Since I made this to lure people to ask me about my jewelry I thought it fitting that it be a fish on a hook :)

I caught it, lure purse charm.
