The holiday season is upon us!
This is a fantastic time of year for going out to holiday parties, dressing up in our most festive clothes and accessorizing to look our best.
It’s also a wonderful time for making the loveliest gifts we can manage and presenting them to our loved ones.
In either case, those of you who celebrate Christmas might enjoy making yourself or your loved ones some new Christmas-friendly bracelets or other jewelry.
In this post, I’ll share gift-worthy DIY Christmas bracelet patterns; but if that isn’t what you’re interested in working on right now, please check out this site’s main directory of craft project ideas to find a wide variety of other projects you might enjoy.
Southwestern Turquoise and Red Coral Chip Bead Bracelet: Free Pattern
Do you like making Christmas projects that only get used once a year?
Some people love doing that, while other people find it hard to want to invest the time it takes to make projects that aren’t useful all year around.
I designed this bracelet in hopes that this style would be wearable for the holiday season, but that it would also look lovely for everyday wear as well.
To make it work, I used traditional Christmas colors of red and green, plus I also added touches of turquoise.
Of course, if you make a bracelet like this one for yourself or a friend, you can use whichever bead colors you find most appealing, or the intended recipient’s favorite colors.
Wire Crochet Lace Cuff Bracelet: Free Pattern
This cuff-style bracelet is crocheted in two colors of wire, and it’s accented with contrasting yet coordinating beads.
I crocheted my sample bracelet in Christmas colors — red and green wire, with bronze-colored seed bead accents. As is, it’s a great look for those of you who would like to get a jump start on your Christmas crocheting.
But, if you’re not feeling Christmas-y right now, all it would take is a color change to make the bracelet in more of an everyday look. I can see making it in silver, gold and bronze, or in other hues of colored wire.

The bracelets pictured above are all designs that I specifically intended to be Christmas friendly. I’ve shared free crochet patterns for bunches of bracelet styles other than these; most are made in everyday colors, but a color change is all it would take to make the others suitable for Christmas, too.
