My favorite deal

Went to Joanns craft store recently and came across a section of things that were a $1 and less.

I took a peak and was about to keep walking when I came across this beaded phone charm. I always wanted to create my own so I took it. While I didn’t really like the pattern of beads it showed on the packaging, I knew I had a lot of beads at home that I could use to fit my style.

After creating it my sister and cousin loved it and wanted one too. While I didn’t have the materials to make another one aka the clips themselves/hardware, I knew I could figure it out.

And that’s exactly what I did! Let my creative side shine through and figured out how to make it without needing any hardware that the kit provided me with. I made their phone charms to match their personalities and they loved them.

This was my favorite thing I’ve ever found! Definitely a good deal lol :)
