Note:
You don't need much clay to make one charm, but if you want to make a few at one time, obviously, you'll need more clay. I don't recommend beginners try to make more than a few to gt started because the clay can get dry as you work. So, shoot for no more than 2 charms if this is your first time working with metal clay.
