The TierraCast D ring clasps are great for use with leather and multi-strand projects, but they can also be used with seed beads. Folding seed bead designs over the slots in the D rings give projects a seamless and professional finish. You can use this technique to fold peyote stitch designs over any kind of clasp. This tutorial will show you how
Create a peyote stitch bracelet. Check out our tutorial on creating an even peyote stitch to get you started. Make sure your starting thread tail is long enough for stitching later on. Make sure the bracelet is wide enough to fit in the slot of the D rings and make sure to add enough length to the bracelet to fold it over the D rings. Step 11 will go into further detail about ensuring the length is right.
Nice choice! All or most of the products needed for this project are shown below with quantities. Sometimes we sell out of components and aren’t able to order more from the manufacturer (we know, it is very disappointing to us, too). Use the opportunity to mix up the design and make it yours by substituting similar products or altering the entire color scheme—it’s up to you!
The fold over technique is a clean and beautiful way to add a strip of peyote to a clasp and turn it into a bracelet.
