I’ve wanted to add children’s evil eye bracelets to my collection, and on this trip I hit the jackpot, and actually found 2.

In Turkey, the evil eye is a big deal, and especially important to give to children. The Evil Eye is meant to give protection and bring good luck to all.

These are very small and would work for an infant, or perhaps be a part of a baby gift. They’d be great for your child’s doll or stuffed animal. You could also hang them in you car, as many people always seem to want to do.

My new friend, Huseyin, in Nazarkoy makes them:)

FYI, the large beads in the bracelet are various colors.
