About

Accepted as the most versatile of bead weaving stitches, peyote can be used for flat bands as well as structural shapes by utilizing the same basic technique and thread path.  For the Simply Tubular bracelet, students will be creating four small beaded strips which will be “zipped up” to create individual tubes into which leather cording will be inserted.  Two options will be presented for creating the centerpiece ~ the captured crystal as shown or utilizing an already finished component. Weaving tips, problem solving, finishing techniques and resources will also be discussed.  An open studio will be available for additional help. 

A $15 material fee will be added to class fee.

All levels welcome.
