Directions

  1. Start with 4 feet of beading thread.
  2. Make a stopper bead at the end of your beading thread, leaving a 4-5 inch tail. (I like using a different color Delica to differentiate the beads.)

  3. Sew on 28 delica beads.
  4. Pick up a delica bead and sew back through the second to last delica, going the opposite way. Pick up another delica bead, skip a bead and sew through the next delica bead. Repeat going all the way back towards to stopper
  5. Once you’ve sewn through the first delica bead, you’ve finished your second row of your peyote stitch pattern. Pick up another delica bead and sew back the other way skipping the first bead and sewing through the second. Repeat again down the row.
  6. Repeat your peyote stitch going back and forth until you’ve added 12 rows.
  7. Wrap the sides together to create a tube and peyote stitch the first row to zip up the peyote tube. Gently pull your thread tight to even out thread and loop through a few beads and cut off excess thread. Pull off stopper bead and sew thread end through a few beads and cut off excess.
  8. Repeat all steps to make another tube. Add tube to instant pendant and attach pendants to earwires for easy DIY earrings!
