Cheerful Christmas Light Earrings, Bracelet & Necklace Pattern

Brighten up your holidays with this beaded Christmas lights pattern that will add a touch of holiday color, fun, and whimsy to whatever you're wearing. Our "Cheerful Christmas Lights" are stitched with warm, twinkling "bulbs" of fire-polished glass beads and seed beads, set atop dazzling "bases" of metal spacers and crystal rondelles, so they simply sparkle and glow. We'll show you how to stitch up these realistic Christmas lights and finish them off as perfect little earrings that you can mix and match throughout the holidays, or incorporate them into our unique swirling strand of sparkling seed beads, which looks just like the twisted wire in real Christmas light strands, for a cheerful necklace or bracelet - single or multi-wrap. Hanging Christmas lights has never been so fun and easy, and taking them down after the holidays is a breeze. A fun and fast Christmas project that can be enjoyed by beaders of all skill levels, including absolute beginners.
