Finished size: 6.5 inches. To adjust the size, simply keep repeating the striped pattern until your desired length, noting that the toggle will add 1/2 an inch.
- Cut a length of thread that you feel comfortable working with, and thread your needle. If you like working with a stopper bead on the end of your thread, add the stopper bead now.
- Begin by watching our video on How to do 2-Drop Flat Even Count Peyote Bead Weaving. Please refer to the pattern for the bead order and how to create the striped design.
- During your bead weaving, you will need to tie off and add new thread.
- Once you have a 6 inch long bead weaving, it is time to start your bead woven toggle clasp. Continue the pattern shown but only stitch 8 beads across for 4 rows, do this on the left and right sides of the bracelet and then connect the two sides by stitching the complete pattern for the last 6 rows of your work, this will create the hole for your toggle clasp.
- Create a separate small piece of bead weaving that is 24 beads wide and 8 beads long (as demonstrated in the bead weaving toggle clasp video you just watched). After all 8 rows are stitched, bring back the first row creating a thin tube to be attached to your bracelet.
- On the other side of your bracelet, you will cut a new length of thread (a couple feet is long enough) and continue the pattern on only the inside 4 beads of the bracelet. Do this for 5 rows of 4 beads each. Now stitch the tube toggle you just created to these 4 beads.
- Tie off and weave in all of your thread tails.
