Steampunk-ish Time Flies Zipper Charm

Hi All....

Today's post is going to be short.  Just finished today's charm but there is a T-Storm moving in fast so I've got to make it quick.

Today I have a charm made from a zipper slide that has a steampunk flair to it. 
The other day I used the zipper from an old carhartt around the edge of my Gothic Arch.  Well I had this great zipper slider (not sure if that's it's technical name) left over.  I thought it would make a great foundation for a nifty charm!

With just a few extra supplies....wings*, watch face & watch bits...

*I should note that I bought these particular wings at Paper Whimsey

I first glued the wings and a vintage clock face to the zipper using Aleene's Glass & Bead glue...  Made specifically for slick surfaces (glass, metal, plastic, etc)

Then I made up a few dangles for the bottom....

And put it all together!

And there you have it! 
A very quick and fun steampunk inspired charm!

I rec'd a couple more Altered Charm Swap envies...I'll be back after these storms pass to let you know who and what I rec'd!

TTFN!!!
