each charm is made out of polymer clay.
the average size per charm is around 2 cm

These turned out great! I'm always very impressed by people who can work on such a small level with polymer clay, and these are so detailed and cute! Is each one going to be charm? A friend of mine makes polymer clay food as well, and she has made some adorable little charm bracelets with charms similar to these. And I'm really surprised it only took you two days!

These are great, i guess i didnt read the thread carfully because i thought they were candy

Queen_Kitty: thank you! yes, each one will be on a lobster clasp. i am still waiting for them to arrive in the mail though (:

mytruth2004, KittyBag, Envymex67- thank you!! &#9829;

I meant to also ask how you make these so shiney? Is it the clay you use or do you spray them with some sort of finish? Also, do you mind sharing how you attach the lobster claps? I am so facinated by these!

^ i coat them with varnish after they harden
i poke holes in them so they are like beads
when my lobster clasps arrive i'll just hook them on with wire (i like to make my own eyepins) (:

those are so amazing!!!!!! i, too, thought they were candy - thought they looked too good to eat!! but now seeing that they are going to be charms... WOW! super adorable.

if i may ask.. what do you use to make them? someone mentioned polymer clay. can that be found at any type of craft store? i was going to make ornaments next year for xmas and i think i would like to try this type of product.

So very cool! I am really inspired to try something like this! Ahhh, I didn't see those holes before. After looking a little closer, I see some now. You have a fantastic talent!!
