1. Before you begin, watch the instructional video: How to do Flat Even Count Peyote.
2. Using matte black 11/0 Delicas, weave a strip of flat even count peyote that is 14 beads wide. Leave an 8" tail at the beginning of your work.
3. Weave the strip 3/4" longer than your desired finished bracelet measurement. I made my bracelet 8" long, so my woven piece was 8 3/4" long. Do not tie off your thread when you've reached the desired length.
4. Attach one end of your beadwork to the closed end of an antiqued pewter "E" hook clasp using the same technique demonstrated in this video, folding over about 1/2" of your work.
5. On the other end of your work, fold over about 1/2" of the beading and stitch it down the same way as you did the other side, just without the hook.
6. Tie off and weave in your threads.
7. To fasten, slide the open part of the "E" hook into the free end of the beading where you've formed a loop with the foldover.
