Learn the bead weaving technique of even-count peyote stitch to create a durable flat bracelet and add a clasp with jump rings.
Learn how to use needle and thread to create cool, intricate jewelry. The unisex bracelet design taught in this class combines a traditional beading technique with unconventional materials—stainless steel hexnuts!—to create a modern, industrial look.
In this online class, students will learn even-count peyote stitch, an off-loom bead weaving technique that can be found in cultures throughout the world—from Ancient Egyptian to contemporary Native American beadwork and beyond. This technique typically uses tiny Japanese and/or Czech seed beads to form a simple and beautiful brick pattern. Hexnuts lend themselves nicely to creating this pattern, but provide a larger, more dramatic scale.
Students will learn how to form the brick pattern, knot the thread, add thread to the in-progress project and reinforce the hexnuts to create a durable bracelet. They will also learn how to use chain nose pliers to open jump rings to add the stainless steel clasp to their bracelet.
