Scissor Charms

Today we are going to make scissor charms. They are really cute and SO simple to make. Use them to identify a particular pair of scissors like fabric from paper. You can give them as gifts at your next crop or scrap retreat.



You will need a pair of needle nose pliers, a charm leash and a beaded charm. You can purchase these little pre-beaded charms at Hobby Lobby for $.88 (that is what we will be using today) or you can use beads that mean something to you, vintage, lampwork, crystal or homemade. If you travel to crops regularly you will be the envy of your group =) but you can also take the Alphabet beads and do your initials. If you want to make the charms then you will also need head pins.

This is how the Charm Leashes come. Packages of 10 in multicolor like these or you can get all black. Take your charm and thread it onto the jump ring of the Charm leash. Done! Pretty fast, huh? =)





Take the "leash" portion of your scissor charm and wrap it around the large opening on your scissor handle. Instead of looping it through (which works but isn't secure) take the leash and thread it through the jump ring of the charm as well. This will keep your charm on your handle always. If you put your charm on the smaller opening (or where your thumb goes) they do tend to get in the way.

Have fun! These can also be used on zipper pulls, cell phones, cameras or tennis shoe eyelets.

Now, aren't you ashamed of having naked scissors? =)
