How I made the charm:

I began with a brass charm with a loop at the top and one at the
base. The top one would be used for a jumpring, to attach the charm
to the bracelet, and I thought the other one would look nice with
dangly bits on it! Having spent ages drooling at the bead shop, I
found some beautiful Murano glass beads from Italy, and just
couldn't walk past them, even though they were a little larger than
I wanted to buy! I attached them with tiger wire and crimps. For
the charm itself, I glued small collage images to the inside and
covered them with a matching size clear acrylic adhesive dome.
