Last year I went a little crazy with my "Silly Season" accessories. Like this one, but this year I wanted to keep it a little more subtle. Also if you aren't from here the Silly Season is what we call the lead up to the holidays, Summer starts, School ends and it is party town all over the country.
So I came up with The Candy Cane Bracelet, wire wrap bracelets are simply thread and go they are the simplest bracelets to make. Elizabeth, my 11 year old, can knock one of these out on her own in about 25 minutes with no help.
I simply made a loop, then alternated the pearls and the wooden beads in groups of 5 and intermittently placed the angle wings which you can get from Wholeport here then I finished it off with the pretty little tree charm also from Wholeport here
I have to say looking at the one from last year to this year my jewellery making has improved...what was I thinking!!!
So do you wear Christmas accessories?
Thanks for reading,

Looks like a fun Christmas bracelet Mel! I love the little angel wings too! I love the idea of a silly season and sure could use one!!
ReplyDeleteSuper cute! I don't wear a lot of jewelry so this would be over the top for me. It does inspire me though, maybe something more earthy in color?
ReplyDeleteOh I like this ! The angel wings make them even more special :-)
ReplyDeletethat is so cute! good job Mel!
ReplyDeleteThat's really pretty Mel! And I love that it's so easy. I think every country needs to have a silly season. Love it!
ReplyDeleteYour bracelet is lovely. Simple yet adorable. I love that it was easy enough your mini me was able to make it herself. Enjoy your silly season!
ReplyDeleteYou know, you're just too clever Mel! Excellent.

Love it! Candy and jewelry, the perfect gift all rolled into one! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for dropping by! Your candy cane bracelet is super cute. Come share it at my party tomorrow if you like. Off to visit a few other posts of yours. Theresa @DearCreatives
ReplyDeleteThat's lovely. not too silly but just festive enough.
ReplyDeleteI have earring with reindeer and jingle bells which I wear every Christmas even though they make my ears hurt a bit after a couple of hours- that's dedication!
Why has the computer put a link where I put (now I don't want to put it again) a reference to bells that jingle??? I'm sorry I have no idea what that is, it wasn't me. Sometimes computers are very confusing - it's almost like they have minds of there own - isn't there a film about that!!!
DeleteThat is beautiful! I'm going to pin this now because its just way to awesome! :)
ReplyDeleteVery nice! I sometimes wear Christmas accessories. I have some Rudolph earrings coming, but they're on backorder (sigh). :)
ReplyDeleteI would SO wear this. VERY nice !!! I love the name of it too.. The candy cane bracelet.
ReplyDeleteSilly Season sounds like a lot of fun. I'll bet you don't have to stick with just "snow white" and "Christmas red". How long do the kids get a break from school? Your bracelet is too cute, and I love last year's project, as well.
ReplyDeleteThis is so adorable! I need to get some of this memory wire stuff - the bracelets are too cute!
ReplyDeleteLove it! The perfect Christmas bracelet. I have a black sweater on right now that it would be perfect with :)
ReplyDeleteLovely hun - this is my fav Christmas jewelry yet!!!!
ReplyDeleteThat's so pretty. Do you think it would work with antique pearls? I've got a bunch from my great-grandmothers that need to be restrung.
