TUTORIAL ☆ peyote stitch cuff!
this is easily the simplest cuff i know how to do, and it's my favourite! while it's easy, this tends to use more than 80 beads, so make sure you have enough.
MATERIALS
☆ elastic string, one arms length ☆ 45 beads of one colour (I used pink) ☆ 45 beads of one colour (I used purple) ☆ scissors
DIFFICULTY ☆ it's very easy
STEP ONE
string an even amount of beads onto some elastic string. i'm using pink and purple!
STEP TWO
string one bead of the colour you just put on. then, loop the string through the purple bead.
STEP THREE
repeat with another pink bead and pull tight. If it's not perfect, don't worry! there will be plenty of time to make it tight again.
STEP FOUR
take a purple bead and loop the string through the pink bead. repeat with another purple bead. repeat this process until the cuff fits comfortably on your wrist, you shouldn't have to pull it for it to fit.
here it is with ten rows, don't forget to pull it tight after every row!
and again with 30 rows! remember that the two ends should fit like a puzzle piece when you are ready to finish off.
STEP FIVE
take the string and loop it through the pink bead on the other end of the cuff. Repeat with the purple bead.
do this until it's one, long string of beads. i've tried to draw what it should look like, the string should zig-zag through the beads. pull tight and tie off!
and done! here's a rainbow one made with the same method, but with 6 rows instead of 4. you can add as many rows as you want, so long as it's an even number.
NOTE: the 45 bead estimate might be too many or not enough for you. i actually need 38, but i have a slim wrist. just make it to however long you need it to be :)
hope this was helpful! if you need any help or clarification, i'd be more than happy to help!
don't forget to stay hydrated and have a good day!
