Charisma Collection - Holiday Trio Bracelet Project
SWAROVSKI® Create-Your-Style.com Design of the Month – December 2015
By Linda Hartung, Designer for Alacarte Clasps, WireLace & WireLuxe
Let the merriments begin with this Holiday Trio (Holly, Silver Bells, Poinsettia) from the Charisma Collection.
Each bracelet is designed with two harmonious colors of 3mm WireLace, a Swarovski BeCharmed Bead and
Alacarte’s ‘Simplicity’ magnetic clasp (also set with a Swarovski crystal). Santa’s elves will be jealous when they
see how fast and easy these are to make. Get in the spirit of the holidays with these traditional colors, and when
the festivities end, wear each bracelet separately for year-round adornment.
