Which keyring holders do you mean - is it the ones from my link??? If so these are generally used for bag charms. I would attach a larger link chain to it with as many strands as you want to work with and then use jump rings to attach charms, beads etc to the chain.

I had an idea for some unusual jewellery, which will fit right in with the recycled theme, and have just managed to jab my craft knife right into my finger end, I have to say the kids were impressed with the amount of blood coming out of such a tiny hole, must have gone really deep with it. Owie

Hi craftgirl, love your memory bracelets, have joined you blog i think.... cant leave comments though not sure why...I love your tilda stamped cards,:T

Sorry about your finger JoF, i know sometimes the smallest cuts make the most mess, trust the children to be impressed..:rotfl:

craftgirl - just looked at your blog -super bracelets.:T......I really must have a go next year.

This year I've just bumbled along attempting to make bag charms (nowhere near as good as any of you lot) just taking my old beads to bits. Needing the key rings and lobster clasps now but they need to be in a gold type colour or that sort of 'antique' colour you see on some jewellry. I'll try our craft shop and see if they sell them.

Pointofnoreturn Yes I did order the ones from you link! And yes I do want to make the bag charms, has anyone seen any good tutorials?

Susan / Mary op - Thank you I'm really enjoying making them I do hope to sell some nearer to christmas, if it doesn't go to plan I'll have a different bracelet to wear every week lol!

Hello, I'm starting to plan my Christmas presents for my female relatives and friends and I'm going to do a few necklaces. I've been looking around for some bronze chain and eye pins that are the same shade, but I'm having trouble finding any. Does anyone know any good shops that sell any?

Jo_F I know how you feel. I managed to get an eye pin stuck in my finger yesterday, good think my tetanus is up to date!

I got both bronze chain and headpins from sanctuary beads on eBay. The head pins are all bent but straighten easily. They have eyepins the same colour. They are 99 p each for loads and 99 p for postage no matter how many items you buy. Gtg

I did check Sanctuary beads, but they don't have bronze chain any more. It's so frustrating because I can find the eye pins, but not the chain in one shop, then the other way round in another.
