Christmas Presents

This year for my friends Christmas presents, I made them all a set of  bracelets. Instead of making them all one, big bracelet, they received a set of three small bracelets. The set included a Chinese staircase, double chain, and a simple braid. I have tutorials for the first two listed below. I made ten christmas presents, which means I made a total of 30 bracelets.
Chinese Staircase
Double Chain  

I came up with various names for my color combos.

1.Under the Sea 
2. Lollipop 

3. Forest 
4. Color Craze 


5. Spring Fling
6. Sunset 



7. Cotton Candy 
8. Playtime. 


9. Smokey Pink
10. Pops of Color 

Sorry about photo quality. My blogger app isn't transferring the pictures clearly :( 

Rose bracelet


   This is a bracelet I made for a woman in  my church. Her family loves the bracelets I make and they order them frequently. This one took me a while because of school and the busyness in life, but I finally got it finished! She loved the result and I hope it will inspire you to make bigger patterns and challenge your bracelet-making ability!
   This bracelet was 25 strings wide. I forgot to count the rows; sorry about that. I believe it was roughly 85 rows. I didn't create the pattern but found it here; xeric1's pattern on friendship-bracelets.net


The buckle at the beginning was made using alicat's buckle method, which can be found on my tutorial here.

I made these cute little earrings for a girl in my church. I used the same method I posted in my others set of earrings. I didn't create the pattern; I found it here megan4032's pattern on friendship-bracelets.net
