This necklace measures approximately 16 inches with a 3 inch chain extender. To modify the length, simply adjust the number of beads strung respectively.
- If you are unfamiliar with Peyote, please watch our video: How to Do Flat Even Count Peyote.
- Using what you learned in the video. Follow along with the pattern photo to create three strips Peyote.
- Once you have the strips you will zip them up. To see how to do this, please watch our video: How to Cover a Carrier Bead in Bead Weaving. You will then add a little dab of E6000 to secure these into place. Please see the photo for reference to see how to place the bead weaving onto the carrier beads. Because all three strips will be identical, you can get the look that they are all different by rotating them around the beads a little differently.
- Let your beads dry for a few minutes while you prepare your chain and beading wire.
- Cut your chain into one length of 3 inches. Set aside.
- Cut two lengths of beading wire, 20 inches each.
