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 main loop, then tie a pretty bow, letting the ends hang freely. You can adjust their length depending on the look you're going for.
Since the cord is already attached, you don't need to do anything special to prepare it. Simply attach it directly to the main clasp of the bag charm. Make sure it's positioned correctly before continuing.
Using two jewelry pliers, gently open a ring by rotating it. Slide the crescent pendant onto the ring, then attach it to the main clasp. Carefully close the ring to secure the assembly.
Attach the ribbon, cord, and pendant to your clasp. Check that all the parts are securely fastened, and adjust the ribbon if necessary.
