(Components list at bottom of page)

On the sixth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me: six geese a laying -
and I said "NO!"

"NO WAY!" You can march those geese out of my house. I do not want goose poop everywhere.

If you don't know what to get me for Christmas, buy me a beadFX gift certificate!

It's usable online and in store and I will ALWAYS be happy receiving it.

You can't always count on your true love, but you can count on your beady friends. Barb, an Open Beading Night regular, gave me a beautiful bracelet for Christmas that she made. With her permission, I have used her bracelet as the basis of my inspiration. The components are slightly different and the metals used are completely different. It's important to give credit where credit is due.

So here's to our beady friends, who know what we REALLY like, and would never bring us a goose, let alone six. Sheesh.

• Ensuring that the beading wire does not cross over itself, crimp the crimp.
  
• Load the beads on the wire.
• Pattern for the beads:
• 1 x 4 mm crystal, 1 x 4 mm daisy spacer, 1 x 4 mm crystal pearl
• Repeat until the have the desired length of the bracelet minus 0.5 inch.
• Add a crimp, a wire guardian and a crimp. Feed the wire through a few beads.
  
• Ensuring that the beading wire does not cross over itself, crimp the crimp and cut any excess wire.
• Using jumprings, add the chain extender and lobster claw.
