Hand Crafted Christmas Gift Ideas - Beaded Bracelet

Tonight, I found a fun and easy tute for those popular wrap bracelets for my series that runs until Christmas with a gift project-a-day. I love beaded jewelry but I do not consider myself a beader. This is one that even I can do and enjoy doing. It is perfect for those girls and ladies on your gift list. Don't let its great looks scare you - this truly is NOT difficult to make!

This was posted and shared by Jane Cruz, the editor at Bead Buzz, the blog for Bead & Button magazine. They have other free projects, tips, and a newsletter, on their site, as well.

I found this on one of my daily emails from CraftGossip.

I can see these with kid's birthstone colors or Christian faith group colors, or even all one fave color.

This is the time to go hunting for all those beads that came unstrung and got tucked into little spots here-and-there for "some day" when they could be useful. If they are the right size, you've got it made. In my case, I think I have a roll of lacing here somewhere that I never got around to using. Now is the time. I could easily have a few of these done for the holidays.

I might even try using a wrapped washer instead of that larger button for the "catch" on this one.

Have fun with this one, folks.

For other projects in my series, just look along the right sidebar for the label "Christmas Gift Projects." I hope to post only tips that do not require knitting, crocheting, machine sewing, tatting, embroidery, or any other skilled technique.
