Sounds great! Be sure to share with us on our Facebook group for beading and jewelry-making! Here is another lovely bracelet video that also has the chevron pattern in it that you may find interesting! www.potomacbeads.com/shop/category/varuna-v-raw-bracelet-tutorial

I’m just learning Peyote and find your videos are excellent learning tools!! Thanks for making it look easy enough for me to try!

[@emmadaniels7887]

i have never succeeded in peyote stitch until i saw this video, thank you so much! im not sure what you did/said but it clicked in my brain, thank you again x

[@jeffo1110]

I agree - either you "get" peyote from the very beginning or it takes someone like Allie to make it understandable. She is such a good teacher, she not only teaches the stitch but the whys you would want to use it and how to adapt it to your own designs. Thanks again Allie for hanging in there with us! Jodi=-)

[@PrinceCharmThings]

Thank you so much. I am learning to bead by watching and beading along. This was very well done and easy to follow along with you. The bracelet is so beautiful, too!

[@Potomacbeadco]

Glad it was helpful!. Thank you so much for watching :)

[@xochitlmolina6505]

I'like it. so much. I see this video many times &I love peyote stitch. You make the most beautiful bracelet. So many thanks. am i follow to you.

[@juanitamaxon1786]

What a great peyote lesson......easy to learn. Thank you very much!! Now to get started and learn this art. Again thank you.

[@Dangerousdebbie1]

Allie, I'm going to give this a try. This bracelet is so pretty. Thank u 4 sharing.

[@letsreadtextbook1687]

Great channel 😄 your instruction is so easy to understand

[@أممحمدوشاحي-و5ث]

I love the way you explain it thank you so much

[@Potomacbeadco]

Thanks!

[@christinebutler7360]

I love this bracelet, it's so gorgeous, thank you for showing how to make this. As well as the clear crystal, gold crystal and cobalt would make the bracelet look regal, just a suggestion.

[@cprema16]

Thanks for sharing your tutorial. I like your videos ,easy to folow

[@rubyruba5988]

I made this bracelet and it is so beautiful, i m so happy about it, thanks a lot

[@deborahbreaux8980]

thanks soooo much! I'm hooked I can't stop making these

[@SAVANNAH_72]

Beautiful!!! I am going to give it a try.

[@conniewilks1144]

Yay - I got it! it feels odd to work with such large beads (I'm usually using 11/0s and 15/0s). Really fun.

[@Potomacbeadco]

You are now officially out of your comfort zone Connie :) Glad you enjoy this tutorial.

[@nassimaelmrabat4698]

Love it , so beautiful

[@rosiehodges2547]

I’m having so much fun making this bracelet! I’m still having trouble getting the pattern started at the very beginning. But with the video I can watch over and over ! Thank you again! How can I make a thiner version? Would I just start with 3 instead of 6? Would I have to use a smaller bead? Would love to hear your suggestions.

[@arianaelizabethseverianoca6948]

muy bien el tutorial

[@arturolopez2886]

Exelente trabajo, gracias.

[@Potomacbeadco]

Thank you too, Arturo.

[@billieb]

Great job but for the life of me how would you make it wider?

[@sharjones2633]

Hi everyone, If you do not want to add a clasp it is possible to continue weaving and join the chevrons to make a seamless bangle. I figured it out. it is similar to joining a rope. match up the pattern, wrap and measure across your knuckles with your thumb crossed underneath over your palm. It looks seamless and I can't tell where I joined the two sides together. just remember to reinforce the joined areas several times following the peyote thread path. end your thread within and do your half hitch knots. then you are done. voila!!! enjoy !!!

[@minervayazminfernandezsala7569]

que hermoso bracelete gracias

[@suegraves9211]

I need written instructions. I love this design.

[@faizahmallak3928]

very nice

[@EstellaVRuiz]

I have a [probably silly] question about the Peyote Stitch bracelet. My question is, would this pattern work the same way with Miyuki delicas? In other words, this same pattern can be used with delica seed beads, as opposed to the larger beads? Lol! Same question, differently asked. Thanks.

[@Potomacbeadco]

Yes, Estella, of course! 😃 You might like to add more rows to make it wider, but stick with even count so it's easier to work. You can print out a peyote template so you can draw your version onto it, that way you can double check everything is correct before you start to bead. The templates are readily available to download from the web, just make sure it's peyote and not brick stitch etc.

[@EstellaVRuiz]

@@Potomacbeadco , I'm not sure who I'm chatting with here, but I really appreciate you responding to my question. I'm pretty sure peyote stitch is older than me (or at least as old😊), but it's new to me! I love your tutorials. Allie and crew, y'all are amazing at what you do. I've learned so much from you guys. Thanks a mil y'all, 'preciate it! (Stella in Austin, Tx.)

Nice

Que bonita queda.

[@Barbara-1111]

I wish you would please do a paper tutorial along with this video..I know how to do the peyote stitch, I just can’t get this in my head...I have tried several times... The video is on point, I can’t get it... ❤️❤️😩😩

[@Potomacbeadco]

Hi Barbara, you can print out a page of peyote template and draw the pattern onto the paper yourself. It's just a repeating pattern of ten rows.

[@Barbara-1111]

Thank you for the info!!!

[@carolh-rosario4761]

Love your techniques and simple to understand instructions; can I use Miyuki Delicas for this bracelet design? Thank you.

[@Potomacbeadco]

Yes Carol you can definitely use Delicas... it is just going to be a lot smaller with a smaller bead. So you may want to add some additional rows to the design.

[@carolh-rosario4761]

why do I love Potomac Beads??? because of your tutorials and Potomac's dedication to its' customer base - in store or on-line. Note that I will use regular Miyuki's 'cause I do love the design. Time for me to buy.

[@sheryldelaney4804]

Hi Allie I was just wandering if you can make this with 11/0's?

[@Potomacbeadco]

+Sheryl Delaney Yes you can, it will just be slimmer.

[@telmacd992]

What kind of thread would you use

[@Potomacbeadco]

We use Wildfire beading thread for nearly everything, though some use Fireline or KO thread as well.

[@barbaragaskins3921]

Is there a pattern you can buy

[@Potomacbeadco]

We only have the tutorial but if you need help please let us know.

[@barbaragaskins3921]

@@Potomacbeadco Thank you. I finally got it worked out

[@Potomacbeadco]

We are so glad!

[@basiratkolade9437]

aw do u add d needle to the wire

[@Potomacbeadco]

+BASIRAT KOLADE how? You just put the thread through the eye of the needle.

[@juneharris8068]

How would I make a necklace with this pattern?

[@Potomacbeadco]

+June Harris a number of changes would have to be made to sizing of beads for this to become a necklace, unless you wanted it as a choker. It would take a different tutorial.

[@GinnieDerk]

Allie please help......I have watched this video so many times and still can't get a pattern going right. Do you have a pattern for the chevron pattern. Or a kit with directions and the blue, crystal beads. Help Help 10-3-2015.

[@Potomacbeadco]

+Virginia Derk Have you done peyote stitch before? Perhaps it would be easier for you to just do a plain peyote stitch bracelet first, before doing one with a pattern. For the beads, of course you can use any color that you want, and we sell tubes of beads with the same colors that were used in this bracelet (or hundreds of others).

[@cdgreen1014]

What size beads are these?

[@Potomacbeadco]

Size 8/0... the links/products used are always listed int he description.

[@cdgreen1014]

+Potomac Bead Company oh sorry! Thanks so much!

[@daviddanwing3861]

[@scrappypoppop3795]

Would this work with 6/0 beads?

[@Potomacbeadco]

+Sarah Bee yes, it will just be wider/larger.

[@lindamilwgal1036]

After watching this tute for about 5 seconds I get an overlap in verbal instructions which makes this extremely hard, if not impossible, to use this video. I also get jumping into ads and cannot get back to the tute. Fix this or take it down please, it is no help as is. thanks

[@Potomacbeadco]

+Linda MilwGal we just checked it and have no problems with the audio. You may have it open in several different tabs/browsers? We cannot find a way to duplicate these problems, so they are not within the video itself.

[@lindamilwgal1036]

I have opened it several times - 1 time each. I actually opened it again and it ran fine and I hope it'll do that when I try following it to make the bracelet. Thanks for your concern.

[@Potomacbeadco]

Ok sure, happy to help.
