New chubbicharm ideas

[Puddles&Chubbs]

I can't take credit for these ideas but I thought they were cute and we are in the product testing / guinea pig stage.

First, Abby asked about a cell phone chubbicharm so here it is:

I hope it holds up because it looks so cute on my phone:

And then Sasha asked about a chubbicharm pin. I had bought some tack pins a while back and they fit wonderfully:

So I will be wearing this to work for a few days:

Yay!

Wooohoooo! That will be so fricken cute on my work uniform! hehehe!!! I can bring the chinnies with me wherever I go

 

[Essentia]

I love the pin idea. It may be time for me to make my own chinnie purse.

 

[Mystic]

I LOVE both those ideas!! I would love the cell charm for myself and the pin for my mom so she can wear on her work uniform!

 

[Puddles&Chubbs]

I'm almost positive the pins should be fine, it's the cell phone charm I'm a bit hesitant on. The chubbicharms are more "compact" than regular chubbichins (no body parts are hanging off very far) but I'm still not confident it can withstand all the bumps a cell phone does. But it was too cute not to try.

Deena,

have you ever used the glaze that they sell for sculpey/fimo clays? That stuff usually makes the clay stronger - I had baked a key head on one of my keys and that thing lasted me 5+ years of being dropped etc before breaking off, and then it was only small chunks here and there.

You could even try glazing it with superglue.

Just a thought

 

[Laurie]

Yes to both! Of course my idea of dangly chubbicharm earrings is really the best, but these are great! I would love a few pins and I love the cell phone charm idea too!

Thanks Jen. When I go to the craft store, I will see if they have any.

hahahaha! Yes, you had a great idea too. Did you get them in the mail yet?

What about chubbichin ceiling fan pulls?

 

[Puddles&Chubbs]

Another good idea! I've played around with a 3-D chubbichin..think golf ball with appendages!

 

[rach_leigh]

More cute ideas! Count me in! I LOVE to buy chinnie-related items!

 

[Puddles&Chubbs]

So I feel confident that the pins can withstand normal "pin action!" Someone suggested a double chubbipin too:

So far so good with the cell phone charm too! But I want to give that a few more days of testing.

If you could get them stronger they would make great key chains too. Also if you could get them lighter i think they would be awesome for scrapbooking. I would love to add a couple to my chinny pages.

 

[3CsMommy]

Sign me up for a double pin once they officially go on the market.

What about a Chubbie Pen Charm (a little chubby chin w/ it's little paws wrapped around a standard sized ball point pen)? Or a ChubbieChin/Hedge Mouse Pad?

 

[Sandi]

Ooh, I like the double pin chubbicharms! ) I also wanted to say thank you for the adorable chubbiecharms, I got them last evening and they are so cute!

 

[ChinchillaSteve]

Cool, nicely made too!
You got my vote

 

[Essentia]

I really like the pen idea.

 

[lauralynne]

I love the pen idea and the scrapbooking idea. AWESOME! I'm a scrapbook junkie...

 

[Newchinmom]

Oh I love the cellphone charm and keychain idea, the pen idea is great, and maybe that can leads to a chinnie bookmark thingy with some kind of metal stick between pages and a cute chinnie wrapping it's paws around the stick?

 

[xcoronaangel]

awsome I was going to ask how the double chin pin was going so I could order them

Keep us informed
