Little Book of Crafters Christmas Edition

Two posts in (nearly) two days?! I'm a blogging demon! :)

I wanted to tell you about the Little Book of Crafters today.
I found out about LBOC via Folksy and I decided to submit some free samples to the LBOC Christmas Edition. Mimi @ LBOC puts together sample bags to give away at her stall at craft fairs and this year is her first Christmas edition.

I decided to submit 30 mobile skull phone charms as they are quite small and lightweight, perfect for a little goodie bag. I have loads of skull charms made ready to go on my charm bracelets so I took 30 aside and started to paint them.

After painting them I varnished them with a glossy glaze to make them durable. They looked like jelly beans! Yum!

Once they were dry I attached each charm to a mobile phone strap - very, very fiddly but they looked very cute once I was done. Then I tied each one to one of my mini business cards which doubled as a label. Job done! I was pretty chuffed with the results.

I've sent them off to Mimi @ LBOC and I'll keep you posted with the results.
