Who are we? What do we do?

Simply, we make magnetic bottle cap charms. Super cute, one-of-a-kind, bottle cap charms. The charms are worn on either a nylon choker or a ribbon necklace (those are the 2 types of necklaces we currently sell.) A magnet on the back of the bottle cap connects to a washer on the necklace. SO CUTE! This is what our choker necklaces look like:

Everyday can be a new necklace, just pop off one charm and pop on another. Easy!

And we have so many to choose from! These are some new ones we just finished working on.

Currently, we mainly use paper, stickers, and cute embellishments to create our charms. It's always something new and different. We don't often make the same charm twice. We have, on occasion, used vintage costume jewelry, beads, and earrings that we find in antique shops and tag sales and reuse them in our charms. We really want to do more with vintage in creating our charms. We are looking forward to hitting tag and estate sales this spring in search of usable pretties for our charms.

Although these charms make the cutest necklaces EVER, (at least most elementary school aged girls we've talked to think so) they can also be used as refrigerator magnets. If your refrigerator looks anything like ours do in our homes, magnets are a must for holding up notes, reminders, and pictures. Our charms are so strong they can easily hold up pictures and notes. Take a look:

Functional art is so fabulous!

Or, for the older girls (and guys too of course, we can make manly charms) they also make great magnets for school lockers. A fun way to hold up photos and decorate the otherwise boring interior of school lockers! Genius! Possibilities endless!

So, that is what we do. And we have so much fun doing it! We plan on launching our Etsy shop within the next couple weeks. Once that happens we have all sorts of ideas for cute and stylish ways to display and organize charms. Here is a sneak peak at a shelf display:

Oh yeah, we've got lots of ideas!!!
