Charm bracelet made using the Art Nouveau cartridge

Hello, everyone!

 Today's post is a little charm bracelet that I made using the Art Nouveau cartridge. I have heard about lots of people making charm bracelets and thought I would give it a whirl. I just bought a really cheap bracelet in the clearance section at Claire's. Then I took off the old charms and made my own. I used epoxy stickers to cover the cricut cuts. Then added a little bit of fringe I got from Close To My Heart. I like how it turned out. We shall see what my nieces say....
The cardstock is from Close To My Heart.


 Thanks for stopping by!!
