Day 59: Butterfly Cell Phone Charm

crafting up some goodies for the Swap-bot swap, "The Secret Garden" in the The Hundred Acre Wood group.  it's based off of the wonderful book, "The Secret Garden" by Frances Hodgson Burnett.  i actually just finished reading the book for the first time this month, so i'm know exactly what i want to make and send to my partner!

the guidelines for the swap:
"This will be a Springtime/renewal themed swap. Think vintage, beautiful roses and flowers, pastels, birds, gardens, old lace and rusty old skeleton keys. You can either use a basket or an embellished paper mache box and fill it with secret treasures. Or a cloth bag or other lighter container to put your goodies in, if shipping is a concern. Make sure the container/bag is still within the Secret Garden theme."

my first item is this butterfly cell phone charm i made from glass butterfly beads and silver flowers.  it's not exactly vintage or victorian, but i feel like the flowers and the butterflies belong in the Secret Garden.



i strung the beads on a wire and added a clip on the end (between the beads and the cell phone cord) just in case my partner wants a zipper pull instead of a cell charm.
