You should have 28 beads for each color
Cut the string arm's length
Tape the end of your string to your workspace
Bead on the first color of beads as though you were making a regular bracelet
Once you finish stringing on your first color of beads double knot the ends of your string (make sure you leave a lot of string on one end and a little bit of string on the other)
When you start on your second color skip a purple bead and slide the string in the next purple bead and continue around the whole bracelet
It should look like this when you skip a purple bead
When you finish stringing the beads all the way around it should look like this, you should add a second layer of the same color (string on one bead then slide the string tthrough the next bead and add another bead and so on)
So in the end it should look like this
Once you have finished adding all of your beads find were there is a space in your bracelet and tie a double knot to it
When it is finished it should look like these two pictures

ReplyDeleteWhat you're doing is actually called the Peyote stitch, a very popular choice in beading. :)
ReplyDeleteChristina you did an awesome job on this tutorial. I think my 13 year old grand daughter would love to try this. You should be really proud of yourself.
