Beading Patterns

A few years ago, I designed two bracelets using a modified peyote stitch.  These are the only ones that ever actually made it into print because designing with bead-weaving is difficult and time-consuming...

The first is what I call the stacked squares bracelet and you can view the link to purchase the pattern by clicking the photo.


My second pattern endeavor is the crystal spine bracelet and it wears more like a bangle because the final product is a bit stiff, although it does have a clasp.  Click the photo for more info...


Both of these patterns use size 8 seed beads so you can finish each project within two to three hours.  They're also beginner friendly and good for younger beaders because of the larger beads.  Enjoy~
