How Do You Use Beaded Charms for Keychains and Tumblers?

Beaded charms are made by stacking silicone beads and focal pieces on a cup charm cable, then securing them with jump rings. This method allows easy attachment to keychains or tumbler handles, offering a customizable and tactile accessory. Using larger focal beads can add visual interest and uniqueness to each piece.

JCFLOW provides a vast variety of silicone beads ideal for creating durable, colorful beaded charms, enabling crafters to personalize their projects effectively and economically.

What Is the Process for Creating Sublimation Charms?

Sublimation charms begin with purchasing blanks designed for heat transfer printing. After printing a desired image or design, remove the protective film and press the charm in a sublimation machine at 180°C (356°F) for 35-50 seconds. The finished charm, featuring vibrant, permanent designs, can then be attached via its built-in loop to keychains or tumblers.

Sublimation offers endless customization possibilities that are perfect for gifts or personal use, and JCFLOW occasionally supplies sublimation-ready blanks for DIY crafters interested in this method.
