Instructions

Note: Components and tools listed within this INSTRUCTIONS box and the printer-friendly PDF, if available, may have been discontinued since this project was published. Refer to the PURCHASE COMPONENTS and TOOLS AND OTHER SUPPLIES sections for current availability.

Please note that the pattern for this bracelet makes a bracelet that is 6 inches long. The pattern is a repeating pattern, meaning that you can simply repeat the repetitive parts of the pattern to make it longer. You will have more then enough beads to make any length bracelet that you want. As a point of reference, adding 1 more short stripe section and 1 more long stripe section will add 1.25 more inches to your finished design.

Start by threading your needle with 6 to 8 feet of Fireline thread. Use a length that you are comfortable with, you will need to add more thread as you go to complete your bracelet.
Please watch the video: How to Flat Even-Count Peyote Stitch. Based upon what you learned in the video, please follow the pattern provided and bead weave your bracelet.
After the length of your bracelet has been beaded, please watch the video: How to Attach a Vertical Loop Multi-Strand Clasp to Peyote Bead Weaving. Following the video instructions, attach your vertical clasp.
When all is done, tie off your thread and weave in your tail.
