Charm Swap Guidelines

Basic Guidelines:

Charms should be dangles of some kind.

Other artists may use these charms in their art including items for resale

Charms can be beaded, cardboard, metal, glass, fabric, wire, multi colored, etc.

Charms can be all the same or all different but must be related to the current theme.
Any color any size
Any shape or design
Any base.

Charms should have some substance to them. I’m not sure exactly how to explain this but if you have participated in other charm swaps you probably know what I mean. Try doing an internet search on Charm swaps to get some ideas.

Quality must meet or exceed PDA Standards at all times. Your art is a reflection of you!

Charms will be mailed to Kim (myself) and I will redistribute them and mail back to each participant. See Kim's Address and Checklist for mailing your charms


Items should be individually packaged for easy distribution and include your artist information so the recipient know who they came from. A tag, business card or note attached whatever you like.

There will be a $5.00 postage fee to cover cost of postage and mailing materials


Sign ups will be done in groups of 10. (I will be the 11th for the full trade)

If we fill a group of 10 we start on a second group for the theme so never worry about not getting in.

If you want to sign up for the second group, this will require a second set of 10 different charms so that no one will receive 2 of your same charms in 2 swaps. You will be required to pay an adjusted shipping fee, based on what ever it costs to send your total package.(most likely only a couple of dollars more at best)

Due to the mail and re-mail of charm swaps, and the vast world wide locations, charms may take some time to arrive back to you. Expected time of completion/return is announced for each swap. Please adhere to the deadlines in order for the swap to flow smoothly.

Happy Creating!

I have seen some of the charms ...... I'm surfing along on the internet and saw something real cute ...... I'm looking at it, thinking, hmmmmmmm, I could do that.....(it's stealing, but if you change it up some ?).....so I'm reading along below the pictures, and DANG IT! It's one of you guys!!! They had a plug for PDA below it, LOL. So I couldn't be devious--I'd get caught!

Hi All- I sent mine off today. Would have liked to work at them with my whole mind but I have been extra busy with the certification program I am in. Excuses, excuses! I just hope to do this again in the future, and I can't wait to see what I get back. Yipeeeee
