Before you begin this project, figure out how long you want your bead woven piece to be. The clasp and attachment method will add almost an inch to the final design. If you want a 7 inch bracelet, then you will bead weave just over 6 inches and have the clasp/attachment beads add almost another inch for a total of 7 inches.
- To start, please watch the video: How to Flat Even-Count Peyote Stitch and also How to Tie Off and Add New Thread in Peyote Bead Weaving. Based on what you learned in the two videos, please bead weave a section of even count peyote bead weaving that is 6 beads wide and as long as you desire for your bracelet, remembering that the clasp and beads to attach it will add almost an inch. Tie off your threads so you have a finished piece of bead weaving.
- To attach the clasp, please watch the video: How to Attach a Multi-Strand Clasp to Peyote Bead Weaving. This will teach you how to attach your clasp.
- Finally, watch the video: How to Attach an Embellishment to Bead Weaving to see how to add your fern leaf focal.
