(Learn how with this link from our friend Suzanne Cooper)
Step 1 – Add six DBMCs to your thread. Begin even count peyote stitch for 5 rows.
Step 2 – Begin next row with TR10s. Continue even count peyote stitch for 5 rows of TR10s.
Step 3 – Begin next row with TR8s. Continue even count peyote stitch for 5 rows of TR8s.
Step 4 – Repeat step 2.
Step 5 – Begin next row with DBMCs. Continue even count peyote stitch for 7 rows of DBMCs.
Repeat rows 2-5 until desired length is reached. Notice that as you change the bead size the width of the bracelet increases and decreases in a wave shape. Experiment with different sizes of beads to see what cool examples you can come up with. Remember that we’d like to see the versions you come up with, so send us pictures of your projects!

This is possibly the most beautiful ‘plain’ peyote bracelet I’ve ever made. It was so economical to make (I used less than 1/3 of a tube of each type of bead), that I didn’t hesitate to finish it with a filagree sterling 3-strand clasp. I made it with 4 lb smoke colored Fireline instead of C-lon Size D Beading Thread.
I’m using the design as the next project for my beading workshop at our city senior center. That’s how easy it was!
