*2.5 Inch Circle Paper Punch

*Jump Rings in a 9mm or 10mm. 
*Nail File and Sanding Block from Dollar Tree
*Enamel Christmas Charms OR some other lightweight charms.

The name of the Etsy shop is "AiClipartCorner."

*Here is the link to the presentation paper that I printed my images on:

*Here is the link to the single-sided, self-adhesive laminating sheets that I used on top of my images:

*Here is the link to the 3mm white pearl trim that I used. It's very delicate looking. You'll receive a large roll of 50 Meters (equivalent to 54 yards.) If you want your pearl trim larger, you can purchase 4mm pearl trim at Hobby Lobby or Walmart. I've never seen the 3mm pearl trim at either of these stores, so that is why I ordered it from Amazon.
