This simple fish charm is very versatile: it can be wired onto plant sticks and pushed into potted plants, connected onto a key ring as a charm, or made into earrings or the centerpiece of a necklace, as done here. Modify the fish by increasing or decreasing the scale, using colored or precious metal wire, or filling it with an eclectic mix of dazzling beads.
