Make Your Own Christmas Charms 

This year, you can create your own Christmas charm bracelet! Keep this treasure for yourself or give it away as a gift.

It’s an easy and unique gift to make and looks fantastic and fashionable. Theme charm bracelets, a growing trend, are very popular as gifts because the recipient can add to it over the years.

You’ll need these materials: ten - 3mm silver-plated fluted beads, eleven 5 x 5mm snake tube beads, three 6mm beehive beads, two 3mm beehive beads, five 4mm emerald glass beads, five 8mm ruby glass beads, one gingerbread girl charm, one gingerbread boy charm, one Christmas tree charm, one Christmas wreath charm, one Santa face charm, one toggle clasp, and jewelry wire twice the length of the wrist, two crimp beads, one pair of crimpers, give 7/8" head pins, a pair of pliers, and a pair of round pliers.

Step 1: Use the crimp bead and crimpers to attach the wire to the jump ring on one end of the toggle  clasp.

Step 2: String one emerald glass bead on a head pin and create a loop using the round pliers. Make another four of these.

Step 3: String a snake tube bead, a 3mm silver-plated fluted bead, the head pin with the emerald glass bead, a 6mm beehive coil bead, and another 3mm silver-plated fluted bead, then add the gingerbread girl charm.

Step 4: Continue by stringing another snake tube bead, a red glass bead, a snake tube bead, a 3mm fluted bead, another emerald bead on the head pin, and a 4mm beehive coil bead, then add the Christmas tree charm.

Step 5: Continue stringing until you have the desired length or you have used all the beads.

Step 6: Leave 2 inches of wire, string a crimp bead, and then loop the wire through the other toggle piece. Insert the wire back through the crimp bead and pull the wire snug with the pliers. Crimp the bead using the crimpers and thread the remaining wire back through the beads.
