When I was looking for nice beads for a bracelet for myself, I found this little snowman, X-mas tree and Santa pendants, so the idea for this bracelet came quick. It's just one long chain that's wrapped around the wrist.

In the last months I saw him on social media regularly: the Plague Doctor, often accompanied by the words 'Wash Your Hands'. I doubt that plague doctors ever said that, because in their time running water wasn't available for everyone. Besides: people didn't know about bacteria and viruses back in the days, so washing your hands wasn't common use. People knew you could get sick by having contact with another sick person, though. The plague doctor wore a leather gown, a mask with glass sight holes and a beak that was stuffed with flowers and herbs to hide the stench of reeking wounds, all to protect him from contamination by sick people.The long stick was for poking people to see if they had the plague and if they were still alive.

After making this little lunch bag for me, my oldest daughter wanted a bag of her own of course.
