Hi!! This tutorial is just how to do the even peyote stitch! So if you want to make one with an odd number of rows, I’ll be making a tutorial for that sometime in the next couple days! I also have one on how to tie bracelets off! :3
Step 1
First you’re gonna get your string! I did not have enough string for a cuff that’s four beads tall, so keep that in mind (you can always tie on more string of course)
Step 2
Put two beads on the string! These are going to be the start of the first row. During the first step you can put them both on one string, since they’ll just end up in the middle anyways. But when repeating this step it’s one bead on each side
Step 3
Now add one bead on both strings. Not one for each but both strings going into one bead
Step 4
Repeat the prior steps until you have the amount of rows you want!
Step 5
Add one bead on one string
Step 6
Take the string with the bead on it and pull it through one of the beads that are sticking out.
Step 7
Do so for all of beads sticking out in that column
Step 8
Now repeat! Keep on adding beads and going through each bead that’s jutting out!
Step 9
And remember, you got this! Even if it’s wonky, loose, or uneven. You’re doing great! Every skill takes time to learn! I’ve been working with beads for over two years and I’m still figuring out how to make stuff look right! The point is to have fun, not for everything to be perfect <3
Step 10
Once your panel/bracelet is the desired length you might need to put it together! And make sure the beads that are sticking out are opposite on each side. That way they’ll line up
Step 11
Take the string from one side (side A) and thread it through a bead that’s jutting out on the other side (side B) it’s kinda like how the rest of the pattern is, except it’s not single beads
Step 12
Then pull it through the bead that’s jutting out on side A
Step 13
Then go to the next one on side B
Step 14
Do that same back and forth until the whole thing is put together! And then tie it off! Don’t worry if you don’t know how there are plenty of tutorials on good knots! Including one I posted!
Yayayyay!! Kandi!!
