5 Creative Ways to Use Hand-Painted Enamel Charms in Your DIY Projects

One tiny charm, endless possibilities.

Ever found yourself with a collection of adorable charms and no idea how to use them? You're not alone. Hand-painted enamel charms are one of the most versatile DIY jewellery supplies out there — and we've rounded up 5 of our favourite ways to style them.

01 Thread onto a Necklace Chain

The classic approach. Slide your charm onto a delicate chain or leather cord, mix in some beads or other pendants, and you've got a one-of-a-kind necklace in minutes.

Pro tip: Layer 2–3 charms with different motifs for a playful, eclectic look. Try strawberry + tulip + four-leaf clover for a fresh, whimsical combination 🌷🍓🍀

02 Clip onto a Hair Pin

One of the biggest DIY trends right now — attaching charms to bobby pins or claw clips instantly elevates a basic hair accessory into something special.

Try this: A pink ballet shoe charm on a pearl hair clip = effortless feminine charm 🩰

03 Hang from Your Bag

Attach a charm to your bag's zip pull or strap for a personalised touch that moves with you. Works beautifully on tote bags, canvas bags, and mini crossbody bags.

Styling idea: Mix a fish tin charm + four-leaf clover + apple for a vintage market aesthetic 🥫🍎

04 Turn into Earrings

Pick up two matching (or complementary) charms, add earring hooks, and you've got a pair of handmade earrings that no one else will have. Perfect for gifting too.

Favourite combo: Two tulip heart charms — romantic and effortlessly unique 🌷❤️

05 Add to a Keychain or Phone Strap

Attach a charm to your keyring or phone lanyard for a little daily joy. This is also one of the sweetest ways to package a handmade gift for a friend.

Why Hand-Painted Enamel Charms?

Unlike mass-produced metal charms, each of our hand-painted enamel pieces is individually coloured by hand — which means every single one is slightly different. The copper base and enamel glaze keep colours vivid and long-lasting, while the lightweight design (just 3g, 20mm) means you'll barely notice you're wearing them.

And that's exactly the point: the slight variations between pieces are what make them special.
