Paper Heart Purse Charm

Introduction & Materials

I’m almost as obsessed about purses as I am about jewelry, so I love the idea of adding a little ornamentation to my favorite hand bags. Here’s a simple purse charm I made. The idea is very similar to a bracelet, but you can attach it to various places on your purse, such as the strap. What is nice about using a charm made form paper clay is that you don’t add a lot of extra weight to what is probably (if you are like me) a pretty heavy purse to begin with.

You’ll need:

5 to 6 inches of gold-colored medium weight chain
1 6mm jump ring
1 5mm spring ring
1 paper Cut-Out Paper Heart Bead
2 Siam red Swarovski crystal beads
1 Wire Heart Head Pin
Flat-nosed pliers (preferably two pair)
Round-nosed pliers
