Have you heard? From Monday, December 1st until Friday, December 12th, we here at CraftPaperScissors will be running a different giveaway each day. Check back with us every day to see a wonderful new craft and prize that you can win!
On the ninth day of our 12 Days of Christmas Giveaway, my true love gave to me Glam and Glitz Bracelet from Plaid Enterprises. This beaded beauty can be made in only a few hours. Get started now and you will have your own colorful and trendy charm bracelet before the day is out!
Make today’s project!
Materials:
- Plaid® Holiday Glitz Charms:
Noel Snowflake Charms, Candy Cane Snowflake Charms, Stocking Present Charms, Snowflake Charms, Poinsettia Charms, Swirl Snowman Charms, Painted Candy Cane Charms, Santa Dec 25 Charms - Plaid® Holiday Glitz Christmas Bracelet
- Plaid® Holiday Glitz Earrings & Jump Rings
- Plaid® Select Strands:
Beads Coral Flat Round Disk Red, Beads Glass 8mm Faceted Round Green, Beads Glass 8mm Faceted Round Crystal - Silver head pins & eye pins
- Needle nose pliers
Instructions:
- Create several bead charms before assembling your charm bracelet. To create a bead charm, thread either a head pin or an eye pin with a combination of the round flat disc red beads, 8 mm green and/or 8mm crystal faceted beads.
Note: I use eye pins when I want the bead charm to be a connector–example: the bead charm will connect to the bracelet as well as have a charm connect or dangle from it. - Once the beads are threaded onto the head or eye pin, make a loop using the round nose pliers and trim the excess pin using side cutters. Create several bead charms.
- Next, lay your bracelet out before you so that you can design the placement of your Christmas charms and colored bead charms. At this time, attach a few Christmas charms to the eye pin of a bead charm.
- Once you are happy with the design placement of your bead charms and Christmas charms, attach the charms to the bracelet chain links using jump rings.
Note: To open and close a jump ring, hold one half of the jump ring (with the slit at the top) using a pair of chain nose pliers, hold the second half of the jump ring with the round nose pliers And open the jump ring moving one hand toward you and the opposite hand away from you. Never open a jump ring by pulling it part as this will weaken the support of the jump ring. To close the jump ring, simply reverse the direction of the one hand towards you and the other hand away from you.

So…I make Lavender Sugar Scrubs for all my female friends and family along with a lavender Epsom salt mix to throw in the tub.
The accessory part that I customize each jar with either a new charm bracelet (if it is a new friend/family member), or an additional charm to add to their bracelet from the previous year.

one year I made wreath pins using the dimensional paint that comes in fine-tipped squeeze bottles…green “scribbled” around the rim of the gold shiny-packaged Gold Coin brand condom! Then using red paint, dot the wreath in several places to look like berries…and a big red bow at the top. Glue a pin back to the back of the packaged “coin”. They are so hysterical when someone notices what they actually are…

I love to make earring and bracelet sets to match my mother’s Christmas sweaters and her Christmas dresses. Mom’s old school when it comes to dressing for church or parties and she buys beautiful sparkly dresses and sweaters. Because of her build and her preferences, she’s limited as to how she can accessorize, so custom jewelry is a wonderful gift for her. 🙂
my favorite/tradition is to make a pin/brooch or earrings for ladies and young girls ,tie clip or key chain for the gents and young guys and age appropriate neutral gender necklace for the tots. I actually wear them to our gathering.
I have made bracelets and ornaments. Most have a special “granny katz” box to keep them in, some wear them or put a special display of them.
It became more important 10 years ago, when I was diagnosed with highly invasive stage3 breast cancer. Weak and sick as I was, the I kept my from my heart gifts alive.
Always looking for new ideas o recreating my own. I must admit some of them over the years were off the wall but they loved them.

We need to always make name place settings so there’s no arguments over who is going to sit where! And, we make them so they can be taken home and used on a tree the following year in ornament styles. I think this year, I will make photo holders with wire that will have their picture attached to it instead of a name. Or maybe a wine glass marker that can serve another purpose throughout the year….Hmm…it’s coming fast so I need to think quickly!
