My fingers are numb...

Ever since I saw these fantastically mesmerizing charm bracelets, I have been scheming and plotting how to make my own. How fun is it to sit for hours and entertain yourself with your personal "I Spy" arm candy. It's taken several trips to the dollar store/hobby lobby/wal-mart, and at least 2 broken nails (even though I used pliers) but I think I did an ok job.
(I say ok, because I planned to make some Christmas Record Album charms, but the printer was running very low on ink so I couldn't make the shrinky dinks. I think it's what would put this over the top). src=

I used mini ornaments, bells, old earrings and beads to fill this in. It took a while to get all those jump rings attached. Hence the loss of feeling in the finger tips. One more craft done!
