Charm Chains

At first glance, the projects in our latest jewelry book seem simple enough: delicate chains with pretty little dangling charms. But look closer. These aren’t your sister’s summer camp craft projects. This is real jewelry that real girls make themselves.

Charm Chains shows how to create charms out of sparkly beads and pretty plastic cutouts. Learn to make a butterfly, a leaf, a flower... even a tiny peace symbol. Then use the included crochet hook to fashion a fine wire chain. Attach the charms to the chain, and a little magic takes place. Your work is transformed into beautiful charmed bracelets, necklaces, and earrings with a real-jewelry look that our tween testers find irresistible.

Of course, the book’s pages are packed with our always-clear instructions and illustrations for each project. And though it goes without saying, we’re saying it anyway — you get everything you need: colorful plastic cutouts, an array of brilliant beads, two colors of wire, earring clasps, and a crochet hook. We promise you’ll be totally charmed.
