On the 9th Day of Christmas: Favorite Things Pendant

Here is another gift idea that is meant to use up left over beads.  Find what you have on hand for the accents and charms.
1. Create 3 dangles using glass beads on 1" headpins. One a large (13mm) jump ring add 3 glass dangles. Use 5mm jump rings to attach 2 Vintaj Arte Metal charms.

2. On a 2" eyepin string a disk bead, flat spacer and a glass rondell, create a wire loop.  Attach a 10mm jump ring.  Slide on an 18" chain.

Cluster woodland charms, glass and your favorite art beads.

Matching earrings using Vintaj's new leaf charms.

A variation with a floral theme.

Vintaj has a new line of brass and Arte Metal charms exclusive to Hobby Lobby.  They are so cool. If you don't have a Hobby Lobby nearby, you can shop online. Here is a photo of some of the ones I'll be designing with this winter:

 And here are some that Vintaj sent for a giveaway for one lucky winner!
To enter leave me a comment telling me what is your favorite symbol for charms or pendants?  For me, it's a tie between birds and leaves.  One random commenter will be picked on December 28th.

Thanks to Vintaj for sending along these new charms and pendants for our giveaway!
