Want to personalize your bag with a handmade accessory?
This bag charm featuring a crescent-shaped pendant is a simple project that’s easy to customize to your liking. The combination of the pendant, ribbon, and cord adds dimension to the piece while keeping it light and airy. You can then attach it to a bag’s handle, a tote, or even a clutch to give it a personal touch.
To make this bag charm, you’ll need just a few items: a crescent-shaped pendant, a ribbon, a pre-assembled cord, jump rings, and a suitable clasp. Be sure to have two jewelry pliers on hand to open and close the jump rings neatly.
Start by cutting the ribbon to the desired length. Thread it through the heart-shaped clasp, then tie a pretty bow, letting the ends hang freely. You can adjust their length depending on the look you want.
Since the paracord clasp is already attached, you don't need to do anything special to prepare it. Just attach it directly to the heart-shaped clasp.
Using two jewelry pliers, open a jump ring, slide the teardrop charm onto it, then attach it directly to the center of the knot by closing the jump ring.
