If you make jewlery- I have a quick question for you!

Hi ladies,

My DH and I are hoping to adopt soon and I am looking for fund-raising ideas. Through the later part of our infertility journey I have been wearing a necklace with a rectangular pewter charm that says, "have faith."  I was thinking I could order a bunch and sell them as a fund-raiser, however I cannot find them online anywhere!  It was only $4 when I bought it so I know it can't be too expensive to buy in bulk.  It looks similar to this in shape:

Where do you get your charms from?  And if you print your own words/design on silver charms, how do you do it?   Also, what's a cheap material to hang a charm on (for a necklace or a bracelet)?

Thanks so much!

  • I often go to Micheals and use their 40% off coupons. I believe you can sign up for emails of the ads too. They have plenty of charms and may have something very similar. Or you might be able to hand stamp the letters into a piece like that. Maybe leather would be an inexpensive "chain" for it. They do also sell chain for necklaces as well.  It for the most part isn't really high quality stuff.
