AD - New lampwork sets!

Ok bear in mind that I just got my first REAL cell phone (don't think Trackphones count), and I have NO idea where a cell phone charm would go. I have a motorola razer and there aren't any little holes in it to link to. What am I missing here? LOL

Hmmm - my oldest cell phone, and my current one, also don't have anywhere for a charm. The second one, though, has a little cut-out on one corner, for a wrist strap.

Cheers, Carla

Cell phone charms. I can't imagine wanting something dangling on my cell phone (if I had one). However, "cell phone charms" are basically pendants on a loop. I'll be making some with the idea that they can be used in other ways. Attached to a split ring for keys. As a zipper pull or even light/fan pull. Attached to a belt loop. Even cut off and used as a necklace pendant.

Kandice, are you liking Etsy better than eBay? I'm surprised more people who are dissatisfied with eBay haven't gone to Just Beads.

Small as my cell phone is and full as my pockets usually are I'd lose it if it didn't have beads on it. It's the only largish size beads in that pocket (usually).

Yup. And then you have those impulse buyers who just find something "cute" - and a cell phone charm is only half a pair of earrings (in price too).

So then, you would be most likely to use a cell phone charm with larger beads?

The pendant/charm items I'm thinking about are favours for my daughter's wedding. I figure it could be used as a zipper pull for us Northern types, or a cell phone charm, or a key chain charm (on a s. steel heart shaped split ring), or even as a necklace. Made with beads that just don't please me, and pewter. After all, wedding favours are not something I want to put a lot of money into.

For my own? Most definitely. Well, they aren't that big beads really, it's one of Kalera's spacers and the bead I made in her studio (shed in the back yard at the time) - that I wouldn't part with just about for the life of me because it was my first lampwork bead ever (not that it is anything to write home about). - It's a perfect use for crooked practice lampwork beads :-)

it depends on what people would use them for, and what they have to distinguish them from. I used to have just a woven strap on my phone and was never able to find it, as my keys are on a (woven) lanyard that I try not to wear around my neck, but at work that's on the order of inevitable (locked doors). Given where you are and what people are likely to carry around in their pockets, go for the large beads. But, I made one with pink small beads and somebody got that at the market (when I was still going) simply because it was "sooo cute". - As in "there's no accounting for taste". -
