Lace Crochet Bag Charm Pattern Details
I am so in love with this super cute lace crochet bag charm! They are so addictive to make I have already made two and I don’t think I will be stopping there!
The boho chic with a touch of vintage look is right up my alley and I can’t wait to show it off on my handbag or keychain!
It would also make the perfect end of year teachers’ gifts or as a market stall item to sell. I can see this being a bestseller already!
The whole bag charm only requires you to crochet a small square which is super easy to make.
Making a tassel is also super easy and you don’t even need a fancy tassel maker for this step! I used a small notebook which worked perfectly.
The addition of small wooden beads finish off this crochet bag charm just perfect for that extra touch of boho.
You can also completely customise the finished size by making a larger/smaller tassel or using two or three squares joined with wooden beads in between.

Cut another length of yarn and tie around all strands of yarn approximately 1.5 cm from the top then using a needle pull the ends through to the middle of the tassel and trim ends to the same length. Trim the whole tassel to around 8 cm in length or to a desired length.
