In the winter time, the streets are bedecked with lights and garlands and homes are filled with the smells of fresh pine and gingerbread. Karen represents the spirit of the season through this classic combination of reds, greens, gold, and silver found under the tree. 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 Santa and all his Elves. And the good news is the ingredients will make up to 15 bracelets...so you will have plenty to gift at the holidays! Give in an organza bag and your gifting is complete. Be sure to watch the video (open the VIDEO tab above) and happy beading!
