December was ultra chill-Y with snow and temps in the teens, but I kept warm with a Potomac Beads festive themed #beadhaul. The #FestiveRadiance Treasure Box subscription featured some sparkly teardrops, a rainbow stacked Christmas tree ornament, & more. I made several designs and went off the wintry path to prepare a Valentine pearl bracelet. Stacked tree tutorial: youtu.be/paaVexndF94?si=5UEgmkqXGH_oKega. I also created a pair of earrings based on their Wind Chime Earrings here: youtu.be/_QdredFOFmU?si=vz52hDvqOmOWzulT
