Charms

When I found this picture from deviantart.com, the first thing that came to my mind was, I HAVE to freaking make these! I'm a Pokemon fan - before. And when I mean before, I mean when it was still the first season. I got depressed after I knew that more Pokemon were going to be introduced. After all, I memorized 300+ Pokemon names, and which number they are. I was never ready to memorize 300 more names.


But other than Pokeballs, I could make other charm designs as well. I could do miniature sweets. I could do letters. I could do creatures. But first on my list is definitely these Pokeballs.


It's really easy to make charms like these. All I would need is polymer clay, paint, varnish, hooks and an oven. Everything's easy to get, except the polymer clay. I tried to search for a supplier of polymer clay online, but what I found is that the supplier's relatively far from my house, and that polymer clay is expensive. It also comes in different colors. So a set of polymer clay would cost me more than 3 thousand pesos.


It gets me really excited, though. Crafts like this is really a hobby of mine. And my friend, who is also a Marketing Management student just like me, suggested that I should make some and sell them. Talk about talking business! I've never imagined myself making charms and selling them. Maybe because it would really require hard work and patience. And, since I'm still in college, I'm going to find it hard to allot time for making charms.


My friends and I thought of selling planners, once. But we never pushed through because we don't have a graphic designer who could design our planners.


Anyway, I think I won't be able to put up my own business with selling charms. It's too expensive for me, and I don't have a team to work with on this. The supply is limited as well. But it would be really a fun thing to do.
