Miyuki delica beads a needle nylon thread

Step 1:

To start, cut a nylon thread and thread it onto a beading needle.

Then thread an even number of beads leaving some thread at the start to finish the weaving.

Step 2:

Then, thread a new bead to start the second row.

Pass through the second to last bead of the first row then thread a new bead.

Follow the diagram to see the thread path.

Step 3:
	Gradually, just place a bead in the gaps of the previous row.

Step 4:
Continue like this until the desired length.

What to do if I need to lengthen my thread?

If your thread is too short to finish the weaving, first make sure to keep about 15cm of thread. Then pass the thread through the previous beads following a path that can go diagonally to jump from one row to another.

Thread a new thread then go back through the previous rows diagonally to lock the new thread and come out where you left off.

How to finish the weaving?

In Peyote stitch, there is no knot to start or finish the weaving. To finish the weaving, go back through the beads and previous rows in several directions so that the thread locks the beads.

Do the same with the starting thread.

Then to finish, you can either glue your weaving onto a rigid cuff or onto a leather strip, or place a clasp for weaving. For this, you will need to make a new row to adapt it to the clasp.

And there you go!
