Dear Craft Friends and Trinket Enthusiasts: This is your invitation to Twinkie Chan's Bag Charm Party, a colorful and playful place to learn how to make 25 adorable bag charms with a gigantic assortment of materials. Charms are a whimsical way to express your personality, feel a little bit fancy, and celebrate the stuff you love, for people all ages and all styles. They're fun to trade, a blast to make with friends, and your everyday bag or purse will truly become one-of-a-kind. This multifaceted class is both a bag charm bonanza and an adventure through many crafts. Twinkie - a longtime treasure-collector and designer of imaginative accessories - shows you how to make bag charms out of beads, paracord, chain, tiny toys, Shrinky Dinks, Perler beads, polymer clay, hot glue, and more. If you're already experienced in a particular craft, this is your moment to shine and make an amazing charm with it. If you're trying one of these crafts for the first time, it's a no-pressure opportunity to experiment and play, because even the weirdest charms are fabulous. What kinds of textures, colors, and tiny knickknacks are you drawn to right now, and what will your bag charms look like?
