Dia de los Muertos Handmade Charms

I love the sugar skulls, Catrina figures and Posada imagery that is used as part of the Mexican ''Dia de los Muertos'' or ''Day of the Dead'' celebrations. I know alot of other swap-botters out there do too so I thought I would combine this with a favourite pastime of mine, making charms.

The aim of this swap is to create 1 ''Day of the Dead'' charm for each of your 6 partners. That way, we should end up with a wonderful variety of charms for our bracelet. Anything goes as long as the charms incorporate the ''Dia de los Muertos'' theme and are durable enough to wear on a bracelet. The charms can be made from scratch using whatever you like, be it metal, beads, clay, felt, shrink plastic, fimo, wood etc. Or, if you prefer, you can alter existing items such as bottle caps, scrabble tiles, dominoes, poker chips, chipboard shapes, pendants, and vintage lockets by embellishing with the appropriate imagery and anything else you fancy. Size wise, I'd say the charms should be between 1-2 inches including any dangly bits and the jump ring. Please DO NOT FORGET to attach a jump ring or split ring so that the charm can be added to a bracelet as soon as your partner receives your unique creation.

No newbies and a rating of 4.9 or more is required to join this swap. I will check profiles and ban any suspect swappers before assigning partners as I am not able to angel this swap should someone flake.

PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU SEND CHARMS THAT YOU WOULD BE HAPPY TO RECEIVE YOURSELF SO THAT YOUR PARTNER CAN WEAR YOUR CREATION WITH PRIDE. THIS IS A SWAP REQUIREMENT AND YOU WILL BE RATED ACCORDINGLY.

Any questions please feel free to ask.
