As Christmas is the grandest festival of many
Western countries, people in these countries have such a tradition that
presenting holiday gifts to others. Gifts come in different kinds, such as
candies, toys and so on. Well, jewelry gifts are very popular in recent years.
So why not prepare some jewelry like bracelets for your families and friends?
Here I’d like to share two of my bracelet making ideas for Christmas with you.

| Enameled Alloy Pendants |
The first idea of bracelet making is used red
glass pearl beads, green flat round rhinestone beads, round antique bronze
metal beads with exquisite patters, toggle clasp and jewelry wire. We all know
that red, green and white are the main colors of Christmas. So I used these
colors in my designs. First, let’s use wire and crimp bead to make a loop to
hold toggle ring. Then string 2pcs glass pearl beads, 1pcs antique bronze metal
bead, 2pcs glass pearl beads and 2pcs flat round rhinestone beads. Repeat this
step for several times. About how many times is depending on the diameter of
both your wrist and jewelry beads. Third, string T-bar on jewelry wire and make
a loop to hold it like first step. Of course, you can also add one or two
Christmas stocking charms on the wire loop with T-bar together. The steps are
very easy, but this bracelet making is full of theme of Christmas, isn’t it?

The second idea of bracelet making for Christmas
is very shining and attractive. The materials include cube faceted glass beads
in red and green colors, silver round alloy beads, antique silver Tibetan style
flower bead caps, alphabet pendants of Christmas (in red and green colors),
some white snowflake pendants and elastic cord. There are so many different
kinds of jewelry materials for this bracelet making, but I just used the
simplest method—stringing for this design. String all the jewelry beads and
pendants like this order—a red cube glass bead, a alphabet pendant, a green
cube glass bead, a white snowflake pendant; repeat it and add a silver round
alloy bead with Tibetan style flower bead cap at each side. So there are 4pcs
glass beads, 1pcs alloy bead and several pendants. Repeat this step for three
more times, and then make a knot with cord to stop the beads fall off. Cut off
the extra cord and hide knot into a hole of bead. Please make sure you have
strung these alphabet pendants on bracelet with the same order as word
“Christmas”. Till now, a shining, beautiful Christmas bracelet is finished. I
am sure the recipient of this bracelet will fall in love with it at first
sight.
