Beaded cuff bracelet


When the strong wind calmed down a bit, I managed to make this too (I rarely sit inside if the weather is nice in Portugal!). I've never done this stitch before, and although I used the wrong thread so it's not as rigid as it should be, I really enjoyed making it.

This was made using Peyote stitch in a mix of cylinder seed beads and ordinary seed beads in a combination of sizes. If I can find the right "thread" here in the UK without having to pay a ridiculous amount of money for it, I want to have another go in a different combination of colours. I might do a "matte" version too just to see the different effect you can achieve

Thank you Nuria. It probably took about 3 or 4 hours in total. The stitch is quite easy once you get the hang of it.

Thank you Tiggy! I need to get the right wire and try again to see if I can make it more rigid. Watch this space :-)
