Crochet Bag Charm Handmade Amigurumi Clip On Bag Accessory 8 cm

This crochet bag charm is a small amigurumi animal on a lobster clasp, sized to hang from a handbag, a backpack or a set of keys. It stands about 8 cm tall. People buy it for a bag they carry every day, or as a light, easy gift for a friend who likes handmade things.

How each crochet bag charm is made

1. Yarn and colours. You tell us the animal and the two or three colours you would like.
2. Crocheted in the round. The head and body are worked in tight rounds so the filling cannot show through.
3. Face. Safety eyes are standard, and an embroidered face is free on request.
4. Clasp and finish. Ends are sewn in, the loop is reinforced and the lobster clasp is attached.

How a small charm behaves on a bag

Small pieces hang better than large ones. At 8 cm the crochet bag charm sits close to the strap instead of swinging, which means less wear on the stitches and less catching on sleeves. The cotton is firm rather than floppy, so the shape stays round after months of use.

Cotton yarn has very little stretch. That is what keeps a small charm crisp, and it is also why we work it at a tight tension. If you prefer something softer to hold, a brushed yarn is possible, though the outline is less sharp. Our notes on choosing yarn for amigurumi explain the trade off.

Crochet bag charm specification

Made to order and shipped worldwide

Nothing is made in advance, so please allow 5-10 working days of making time in Hanoi before the parcel is posted, then the delivery time below. Every parcel is tracked, and the full terms are set out in our shipping information.

Care

Hand wash in cool water with a mild soap. Press the water out with a towel, reshape the piece while it is damp and leave it to air dry away from direct sunlight. Cotton keeps its shape well when it is treated this way. Longer notes are in our amigurumi care guide.

Questions people ask

Will the crochet bag charm hold up to daily use?

Cotton worked at a tight tension wears well. The clasp is sewn through the body, not glued, so it will not pull away with normal handling.

Can I choose the animal?

Yes. Tell us the animal and the colours in the order notes, or message us first if you are not sure what works at this size.

Is it safe for a small child?

It is an accessory, not a baby toy. Ask for embroidered eyes if a young child will handle it, and keep the clasp out of reach.
