TUTORIAL:

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

This class is advanced if you want to use the shown button. It is an intermediate level if you decide to use a different closure. That's because this particular button has a metal shank on it that needs you to decrease and work odd count in the peyote stitch. 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. As a result, this project is a pattern rather than a lesson.

Instructions discuss the pattern and separate possibilities for clasp techniques as well as embellishments techniques.

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