These Captivating Handmade Charms are Made from Bent Wire
Jen Chae — August 24, 2013 — Art & Design
These handmade charms by Etsy shop owner 'Made with Love by Shan' are distinct in style. Cleverly coiled using just a single strand of wire, the Cupcake Charm Necklace and Name and Saying Bracelets showcase images in a uniquely captivating way.
The curly and free-flowing look of the charms are playfully feminine -- sweet in nature, they would make the perfect gift for girly girls. The cupcake charm is especially adorable, because it even has a red bead on top to represent a cherry on top. The Name and Saying Bracelets, also hand-shaped, spell out any name of word that you want using just a single piece of wire. It's one thing to engrave or cut out letters for name pendants, but twirling metal to stylishly spell something out is truly creative.
