The peyote stitch is a commonly used stitch for many different jewelry and design applications. This tutorial demonstrates the even peyote stitch, resulting in a flat design.
Cut a length of Nymo thread to approximately five feet. Wax the thread if you like. Attach a mini bead stopper on the end of the thread to keep the beads in place. Be sure to leave an extra bit of thread, giving the bead stopper a "tail" which will help you when you go to finish the design.
String ten seed beads onto the thread. In this example we used 4mm TOHO cube beads to make the technique more visible.
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!
