Vintage greeting card characters + scissors + eyelets + Art Gel + card stock + jump rings = some simple, cute charms that are surprisingly durable. I've made over 30 so far, using faces from a box of old 1930s to 1950s greeting cards. These little cartoonish characters seem to have been a very popular card subject back in the day. They remind me of some of the old comic book characters--Archie, Betty, Veronica, Nancy, Sluggo and others from my childhood in the 1940s and 1950s.
There are little kitten characters on many of the cards, as well as flowers--mostly roses. I stuck mainly with people when looking through the cards, but I may go back through them again and look specifically for kittens for a kitten themed charm bracelet.
CUTE-class soon?
