Chanukah is such a special time of year for those of the Jewish faith. In the spirit of celebrating the Festival of Lights, make meaningful, handmade gifts to exchange on any of the eight nights of Chanukah. Beckie has created a festive combination of blue cords and bright silver beads. The beauty of this design is in its simplicity. Each bracelet is one stitch, one bead and two colors of Chinese Knotting Cord. By stacking them together, your eye will find a pleasing path to the Festival of Lights! And the good news is the ingredients will make up to 15 bracelets...so you will have plenty for yourself and to give away. Give in an organza bag and your gifting is complete. Be sure to watch the video (open the VIDEO tab above) and happy beading!
