If you are ready to take your Peyote stitch to a new level, you are ready to learn how to work in tubular and circular variations. This Peyote stitch free tutorial will allow you to begin working in three-dimensions. That could be making simple tubular bangles, or getting into more complicated shapes.
This Peyote stitch free tutorial then goes on to talk about how to create different shapes in circular Peyote stitch. So, you will learn all about hexagons, pentagons, triangles and squares. It also makes a great reference tool if you need to make rectangles.
The Peyote stitch free tutorial ends with a brief overview of how circular and tubular Peyote stitch can be combined. This allows you to make three-dimensional shapes. If you want a bit of practice to develop these skills, then you might like to move on to this charm bracelet pattern.
Diagrams for the delightfully easy two-needle method of creating the first 3 rows of peyote stitch.For subsequent rows, one needle at a time is used. Two working methods are diagrammed.No complicated row-end step-up maneuvers, nice neat edges!
This is a really useful resource if you are designing your own work. I created the peyote stitch alphabet several years ago and have used it as a reference every time I want to add lettering into my beadwork. Those of you who already have my Beaded Christmas books will recognise this resource from there, but I felt it should be freely available as it is just so useful!
When you are using the letters, remember to allow space around them and if you are working on more than one line of lettering, you will need to calculate how many rows to leave above and below each line of letters. I find that sometimes I need to work only in small letters if the project I am making has some kind of size restriction. This peyote stitch alphabet has been designed so that all the letters are of the equivalent size and will look as though they belong together. However, you can make alterations so you design slightly shorter letters if you need to. The most effective way to use this will be to take another piece of peyote pattern paper (there is 3/4 sheet of blank graph paper included in this pattern which you can photocopy to use) and transfer the letters that you will need in order so you can plan your pattern properly, rather than trying to work letter by letter as you stitch.

Well, if you fall into the first category, I hope this blog will convince you that there really is nothing scary about freeform. If you already love it, then perhaps this will give you a new way to think about the stitch.
I started with 8 beads in the first row, then using the peyote stitch, I finished the second row. Changing beads every two rows, graduating the bead size up, then down, then up again. Doing this will give you the great wavy look to the bracelet.
Collect all the beads, and be sure to size them from smallest to largest. I start and end with the smallest size delica seed bead. Use the Peyote Stitch diagram to learn how to bead the peyote stitch.
I start with 8 beads in the first row, as mentioned earlier, then peyote stitch back for the second row. Switch to the next bead and stitch 2 rows. Keep repeating with each bead until you get to the largest bead. Bead 2 rows, then start decreasing the size of the beads until you get to the smallest size bead and then just repeat the process.
Closure: On one side, I sewed on an antique button that matched. The closure on the opposite side was made by doing a 2 bead peyote row and make it long enough to slide around the button. Then I finished it off by attaching to the opposite side:
I would love to see your bracelet if you make one from this tutorial. Also, leave a comment if you have a question about the tutorial. The tutorial assumes basic peyote stitch know-how or the ability to learn it.
I just ordered all of the red beads and supplies listed.I look forward to giving this bracelet a try. I will post back and let you know how it goes. Thanks for posting all of the links since I am a newbie and never did peyote before.
Re: tangled mess with fireline, every time it starts to tangle, I use wax or similar product to improves things. Other tips includes making sure not to pull it too tight, just taunt; using shorter pieces, letting the needle and line hand free to help unwind the twist.
Hi Debbie, I am also self taught, too. The latest stitch I learned was tubular RAW. Unfortunately, I am knee deep in several large projects, so cannot rework this tutorial. Once you learn the flat peyote stitch, then it is just a matter of using different size beads to get the wave. When I want to learn something new, I head over to YouTube. Someone is bound to have made a helpful video. Was there something in particular you wanted to learn?
Flat, even-count peyote stitch is one of the most popular bead weaving stitches, and it's easy to see why. Commonly referred to as just peyote stitch, this simple back-and-forth stitch creates staggered horizontal rows perfect for incorporating patterns. From stripes, chevrons and honeycombs to lifelike images created from a bead chart, peyote stitch is a staple technique for beautiful, beaded jewelry. Odd-count peyote stitch is another option for when you want a center column of beads. More care is needed when starting a new row in odd-count peyote.

Your purchased beading tutorial will include a detailed materials list of everything you'll need to make this project, including quantities and, in most cases, color information (see more about Bead Color Information below).
We provide detailed information about the bead colors used for each of the color samples shown above on the Bead Legend / Color Key (or similarly named page) in your purchased pattern. If the tutorial you purchased does not include detailed color information for a particular color sample we used, we apologize (a few of our earliest patterns did not include this information and we no longer have those beads to reference, or they were discontinued by the manufacturer). If this is the case, please feel free to contact us and we'll do our best to provide you with general color descriptions. Be sure to let us know which particular color sample you're most interested in.
Czech Carrier beads are making waves in the DIY jewelry making world. They have two holes and can be used for a stretch bracelet or intricate necklaces! Because they have two holes, they can be easily used in your favorite bead-stitching projects! The typical way to style carrier beads is bead stitching a tube of beads or seed beads to encase the carrier beads. We are using the classic peyote stitch tubes to slide over the carrier beads. Check out this tutorial and pattern ideas below!
We adore these colors! We used four colors to design these 15 different patterns. Make sure to DOWNLOAD PDF of these patterns and a quick tutorial of how to create tubes to add to your Czech carrier beads.
Second option is after making your peyote stitch tubes. Complete your tubes and slide carrier bead half way through, still exposing the bead. Run your glue around the exposed area of the bead, let it sit for a second or two and slide the tube over the rest of the carrier bead.
Lastly, although I use a size 12mm rivoli for this tutorial and for many of my patterns, these instructions can be used with most rivoli sizes. The only element that changes is the number of Delica beads that you start with in Step 1. Here are some rivolis that I have made peyote bezels for and the number of Delica beads that I started with:
Step 16: Next you will add another two rows of 15/0 seed beads (exactly as you did in Steps 7 to 13) to create the back side of your bezel and to encase the rivoli into the peyote bezel.
Let's start at the beginning. If you don't know how to peyote stitch, then all the patterns and designs are useless. If you love to make jewelry, then you will be fascinated by the endless possibilities created with peyote. Peyote is so easy to learn, you'll be making beautiful jewelry pieces in no time!
There are 2 ways to do basic peyote: even count and odd count. Even count is when you start with an even number of beads and, yes, you guessed it, odd count is when you start with an odd number of beads. Why does it matter? One peyote stitch uses 2 beads, so even count peyote finishes the row without any extra beads. Odd count peyote has an extra bead at the end of the row. This requires adding the next bead in a very roundabout way. The alternative when a pattern calls for a odd number of rows, as in my Hexagon Bracelet, you can add the last row using brick stitch. We'll save that for another tutorial. 041b061a72
