Hello Kitty Charm


A few years ago as I was waiting in line at the post office I noticed that the lady in front of me had the cutest ever Hello Kitty Swarovski crystal charm attached to her purse. I asked her where she had gotten it from and she said that her friend had made it. As soon as I got home I searched online but never found it. 

I found this last weekend at the swap meet. It was $1. It looks like a bigger version of the one that I saw on the lady's purse.

I'm gonna try and see if I can use it as a guide and make smaller ones. I might've found instructions here.  Looks similar anyway. 

I got these plastic beads to practice with, and if it works out maybe I'll try with the real-kine Swarovski beads.  Wish me luck!!

Good luck! My sister used to make all kinds of little crystal critters - her beading friends too. I bought a Snoopy one that was SO cute and tiny, made with very very small seed beads - I wonder what I did with it?

Amazing what can be done, yeah?

You are so amazing, Jalna. I would never try it. I am so no good at following directions.

Amazing that you could re-create it. I 'm not really good with puzzle.
