I honestly couldn't believe when you said "if your talented, clearly I'm not" . I understand that you meant regarding beading, but it just struck me as a funny comment b/c you are so very clearly talented!

As always, you explain what you're doing so beautifully and give options for how we might adapt. Thank you <3

You're so clever with finding ways to use what you have. I love these little charms.

These charms are lovely. I don't do journals, so have never needed charms. I can see how they'd certainly be centre stage on a card or instead of a tassel on a special bookmark. I'm going to try some myself. 🌷🇨🇦🌷

I smiled at the “ wonky” comment - I remember sewing a top where the stripes did not quite match. Friend said “ doesn’t matter, makes it look shop bought” since then, I haven’t cared so much about “ wonky” !

Wow! I now see I need a fancy “pick” like yours. So pretty…..thank you for this tutorial. It’s simple and pretty!!!

Love them, so easy to adapt and super cute, pinched the idea of the Gold backing to use up some stickers I had laying around, they look super classy and usable now, that's a win, thank you Amanda 🥰

Hello Scrimpingmommy! I love your latest video on how to make journal charms yourself! I'm big on DIY, and agree with you that it's better to make your own things rather than buying them. That way you can personalize your charms, and make them to suit what your theme is. I also love your "faux laminating" trick!! I'd have never have thought of using tape, and you are such a genius!! Thanks for the tips and tricks. Cheers! ~Janet in Canada 💖💖💗💗

Excellent tutorial and a real cost saver. And you're guaranteed to have it coordinate with your paper collection. Love it! Janet 💕

I absolutely love these charms! I think they would make beautiful lighter earrings too! Now I need to get your digitals! 🥰

These are sooo cute! Never in a million years would I have thought about using packing tape... Brilliant! Joan

I really liked this method. Have looked at other videos online and yours is simple but very pretty. I will be giving this a go. Unlike the other ways this is easy enough to teach my grandkids.
