I’m obsessed with how this purse charm and chain came out! The Louise Bob’s Burgers doll was from five below. They had all the characters but I really love this character so I used her for my DIY purse charm. Here is a link for the hand drill….it’s a must for making charms.
A few tips for making purse charms….
Use beading wire and not stretchy cord. This helps with durability.
When drilling toys, use a drillbit that is slightly smaller than your eye screw. Add a drop of clue if you would like to have a little extra security.
I like to add jump rings to the ends of my chains, so I can easily take them on and off purses.
these purse chains and charms are so easy to make. I hope you give this DIY a try.
I had sooo much fun visiting the offices and sitting in on a table read! It was a blast and for a Bob’s Burgers fan….a dream come true!
Purse charms have become popular because they combine self-expression with fashion in a way that’s easy to change. They’re a relatively inexpensive way to make a bag feel unique without buying a new one.
Purse Charms Are
- Personalization: Charms let people reflect their personality, interests, or sense of humor. Someone might choose a plush character, a lucky symbol, a souvenir from a trip, or initials.
- Easy to swap: Unlike permanently customizing a bag, charms can be added, removed, or mixed depending on the season, outfit, or mood.
- Playful contrast: Many people enjoy pairing a polished, structured handbag with whimsical charms. The contrast between luxury and playfulness has become a defining style trend.
- Collectibility: Some charms come in limited editions or collaborations, making them fun to hunt for, trade, or display.
- Nostalgia: Plush toys, cartoon characters, beads, and colorful accessories often evoke childhood memories, which has been a recurring theme in fashion.
- Social media influence: Fashion creators on platforms like TikTok and Instagram have popularized “bag decorating” and “bag styling,” inspiring others to create their own combinations.
- Conversation starters: An unusual or meaningful charm can spark questions and stories, whether it’s a souvenir from a favorite vacation or a handmade gift.
I had such a blast and everyone LOVED my toy DIY purse charm! Thanks Bob’s Burgers!
