Question

Where to find charms for tiny glass bottle pendants?

Answer 1

Glass Vial Pendant

Answer 2

A find such as you have should be taken to the police for identification. Do not attempt to open it as you have absolutely no idea what the liquid is...

Answer 3

you can make your own with craft clay/ recycled materials. you can check out miniature food etc for ideas on craft clay charms. if you want to shop online, there's ebay, obviously, or aliexpress (though do watch out for scammers. you can refer to comments of other buyers there, so that'll help you). maybe you can also ask around architecture firms. the charms in the picture you provided looks like the stuff they use in their building models. other than that, i guess you can look around other craft stores near your house, though based on my experience, the prices tend to be severly inflated. you can also consider putting common trinkets like buttons/ tiny toys/ beads. those will be easier to find, and they're cute too.

Answer 4

First, "pendant" size bottles would be too big for most miniatures (what you're calling "charms"). You could use slightly larger bottles though, or just use teeeeny miniatures.



As for where to buy miniatures though, you can often find them around Christmas or other holiday times as mini-tree ornaments, or as other embellishments and jewelry, etc, or at hobby stores for model railroads/etc, or as kids "buttons," or in craft stores with the jewelry components or with the scrapbooking supplies.



You can make the miniatures yourself though, and you can make the settings/etc too.

In the case of this company, a lot of their miniatures are mini trees, flat figures (paper, plastic or cardboard, etc, probably die-cut in their case), dirt/grass/water made from stuff like clays/model railroad grass or dirt and bits of mini trees or tree-making stuff and also resin. Some of the flat figures, etc, might also be purchasable as special shapes of plastic "sequins," or they could be created from shrink plastic.

You *can* make miniatures and mini-dioramas like this from any material you want though (especially since they'll be protected by being surrounded by glass). Mini trees/bushes/etc can also be made by cutting off a small portion of some kind of artificial plants, flowers, etc, from craft stores:

Check out some of these pages at my site for more on making minatures and dioramas (with polymer clay, or you could use air-dry clays or other materials), plus some other answers of mine and more sites:
