wow! I love charms! you can find beads n things to make them from so many different places!...it was so much fun when i went to look for them in places like thrift markets and antique jewellery stores. They can be of any material ranging from bones to glass, ceramic to plastic, semi-precious stones to wood,metal to shells....! In some cultures like in case of moroccan berbers or african tribals they can hold religious or superstitious value. i made these charms out of the beads i collected and used them to hang from cushions inspired by the moroccan culture.

I also tried making some using silk banarsi cloth and embroidered it myelf!
