For illustrated directions please visit our even count peyote page.
1. Pull out approximately four feet of C-Lon Size D beading thread leaving the spool attached. String on four Miyuki 4mm Square beads (SB).
2. String one SB, keeping it apart from the other four. Moving from right to left, skip over the first SB and pass through the next.
3. String one SB, skip the next bead and pass through the last SB in the row. Pull tight to secure.
4. String one SB, turn and pass through the slightly raised SB to the right.
5. String one SB and pass through the second raised bead in the row. Tighten the thread, pulling the bead into place.
6. Continue working in Peyote stitch keeping the tension tight and even.
7. Continue to desired length.
8. Pull attached thread spool out approximately 3 feet and cut. Follow the thread path across the cuff, exiting the second SB on the bottom left.
9. Pass up through the SB to the left, exiting between the first and second beads of the end row. Pass through the first loop of the clasp.
10. Pass up through the next SB, exiting between the second and third beads of the end row. Pass through the second loop of the clasp.
11. Pass up through the next SB, exiting between the third and fourth beads of the end row.
12. Pass through the third loop of the clasp. Pass through the last SB in the row exiting, the cuff's top edge.
13. Repeat steps 8 through 12 to reinforce the clasp. The loops of the clasp should sit on the underside of the cuff against the bottom of the Square beads in the last row.
14. String one 11/0 in color A, one 11/0 color B, one 8/0, one 11/0 in color B, and one 11/0 in color A.
15. Pass through the second SB from the left, exiting onto the top of the cuff.
16. String one 8/0, one 11/0 in color A, one 4mm Fire Polished bead, one 11/0 A, and one 8/0.
17. Pass through the second SB from the end, exiting the bottom edge of the cuff. Once pulled tight these beads will form an arch across the center of the bracelet.
18. Repeat step 14 and pass through the third SB from the left, exiting onto the top of the cuff.
19. Repeat step 16 and pass through the third SB from the left, exiting the top edge of the cuff.
20. Continue down the length of the cuff adding the embellishment in this way. Check the length and add or remove beads as needed.
21. Attach the clasp as shown in steps 9 through 12. Be sure that the second end of the clasp is going in the correct direction to slide into the first.
22. Reinforce the clasp as shown in step 13.
23. Following the thread path, sew in and trim any loose thread tails.
