Holiday Chainmaille Kits - these Christmas Trees are fast and fun gifts!

I have listed some chainmaille kits in my supply shop. Each kit can be assembled into 1 Christmas Tree pendant, with either multicolored "ornaments" or red ones:

An example of one of the multicolored kits is on the left, and the assembled pendant on the right. These pendants are almost 2 inches tall (1-7/8").

In addition to the enameled copper jumprings (which I cut and polished), each kit contains pictorial instructions for assembly - anyone familiar with Japanese maille will have no problem creating this pendant. (The instructions aren't intended to teach chainmaille techniques - just the pattern for this particular J-maille tree).

These can be assembled quickly, and make terrific teacher gifts, hostess gifts; just hang them from some ribbon, chain, leather - whatever! Anyone who appreciates festive holiday jewelry will love these!

The kits are available here.

Holiday Lariat

You may have seen this one before - I made this last December, and wore it all the time. I have hauled it out again today - it will be my Holiday "go-to" jewelry, because I love it!

The whole lariat was supposed to be a beadwoven spiral, but I noticed I was running out of the ruby red Czech glass I was using. *Sad face* I made the 2 lengths of spiral rope you see at the ends here, and worked to come up with plan B.

Sometimes these setbacks DO turn out for the better, because I really like the solution I came up with: I incorporated some of my favorite lampwork glass peppermint beads, and had enough of the red Czech glass to do a bit more spiralling, so I made 3 short lengths of spiral rope, which I then strung up asymmetrically with a mix of red and green Czech rondelles plus some larger pressed Czech glass bicones.

I think it's very festive!

Holiday Swarovski Earrings

These earrings were designed to go with my Holiday Swarovski Bracelet, particular the double decker pair, which are just screaming to go to a party, in my opinion!

The Holidays are right around the corner!

Holiday Holly Bracelet

This bracelet was hand woven with a mixture of Czech pressed glass and fire-polish beads, and Japanese seed beads. I love how the colors and pattern came together to resemble fresh sprigs of holly!

The silver button closure is the perfect "blingy" accent for this holiday piece.

The holidays are right around the corner! Wouldn't you love to sport this festive bracelet as you bustle through the season?

It's available on Etsy!
