TUTORIAL:

Use delica seed beads to make your own version of this handbeaded bracelet.

This class is level 3 out of 5. That puts it at an Intermediate class. Students SHOULD BE ALREADY FAMILAR WITH FLAT EVEN COUNT PEYOTE STITCH before they begin this project and know how to read either a word chart or a beading graph. If you are not familiar with even count peyote, Jewelry Lessons has a free tutorial here: http://www.jewelrylessons.com/article/beadweaving-basics-peyote-stitch-f.... As a result, this project is a pattern rather than a lesson.

This is for the tutorial/instruction packet only. Materials are not included. 12 Pages of instruction, in color, discusses the pattern and 8 separate possibilities for clasp techniques as well as an embellishment technique. Photo 1 shows the piece with extra embellishment. Photo 2 shows one of the clasp techniques.

Note by JL Admin: Students should be extremely familiar with Flat Even count Peyote stitch. The file offers a pattern with some instructions, not step by step hands-on instructions.
