HOW TO BEAD A FLAT PEYOTE SQUARE

This tutorial shows you how to bead a flat Peyote square. This square is used as the base in my Chinese Temple Trinket box and Ribbon Trinket box which are available from:
www.crystalsta... and
www.etsy.com/s...

That is the coolest little granny square peyote stitch I have ever seen. Thank you for sharing this. 😊😍

[@CrystalStarGems]

You are so welcome! :)

[@tinavallejo3801]

So glad you are doing these videos. Your patterns are magnificent and you breaking down the peyote techniques like this enables everyone who buys your patterns to learn new color ways and your the only one I have seen who does the corners so nice. Thank you.

[@CrystalStarGems]

You're very welcome Tina and thank you very much for such a lovely compliment :)

[@robinranallo8045]

Love how it resembles a mini quilt

[@CrystalStarGems]

I hadn't considered this but it looking at the photograph I can see why you think it - a few more rounds, with a soft tension and it might work for a doll house blanket?

[@zarasmomproud6539]

Just amazing to work with tiny beads. Can't wait to try this project

[@pipmuser9619]

I haven’t seen any other person start in that way. Fabulous! Also love the solution for the 3 bead corners. Thank you for sharing!

[@CrystalStarGems]

Thank you very much for your lovely compliment and taking the time to share your thoughts :) The Fireline join, that I used at the start, was originally developed by Cath Thomas & Patrick Duggan, so your love of the circular Fireline join at the beginning of this tutorial is down to Cath and Patrick and not me. Both of these phenomenal beaders are happy to share this technique. I love that you love my three bead corners

[@bashly1386]

[@karenroszel7684]

I can't wait either. Some time ago I made a box from written instructions and almost died of frustration. With your help, I bet it would have turned out perfectly! Kudos!

[@CrystalStarGems]

Thank you for your lovely compliment Karen :)

[@Meg-td3rb]

Que bello trabajo, muchas gracias por explicar paso el paso, está claro como hacerlo. Bendiciones

[@CrystalStarGems]

Thank you very much Elizabeth I really appreciate the compliment and I am happy you enjoyed the video. :)

[@thilothamabhat2102]

Beautifully explained and done 👏🥰

[@CrystalStarGems]

Thank you very much :)

[@brittal.3031]

Thanks for showing this technique.

[@CrystalStarGems]

You're very welcome :)

[@pamelasteburg6006]

Very lovely stitching!

[@CrystalStarGems]

Thank you very much Pamela! 😊

[@SusanRoseArt]

Thanks for this. I'll try it. It's a bit Frustrating however when you sew out of shot of the camera. Just for future reference, if you mark your beading table on the centre you'll always have your hands in the centre position so your examples will never be out of shot. X

[@CrystalStarGems]

Thank you very much for the advice Susan, I will try to do better :)

[@marieweakland5265]

I learned your 3 bead corner method from the Ribbon Trinket Box and love it!

[@CrystalStarGems]

Thank you very much Marie - I am glad you enjoyed it :)

[@CamiPena-i6z]

Gorgeous! ❤

[@feliciabrockman4102]

These are gorgeous. Can anyone give examples as to how I might use these squares? Perhaps a beaded purse 🤔. Great video. Thank you 💓

[@CrystalStarGems]

I have a couple of patterns which use the square, namely the Chinese Temple Box and the Ribbon Trinket box but a beaded purse sounds lovely :)

[@obxshelly]

This is exactly the video I was looking to find!! Thank you so much for your expertise in teaching us how you accomplish it. 💙

[@CrystalStarGems]

You are so welcome!

[@angietham798]

I want to make a few squares and put together to make a ring thank you

[@CrystalStarGems]

You're very welcome and I'm glad you enjoyed the video :)

[@drrahilakurdi5943]

Beautiful ❤❤❤❤❤

[@CrystalStarGems]

Thank you! 😊

[@riverofpurple]

What a great tip on making the beads sit correctly. Thanks. I live your rings where did you get them?

[@CrystalStarGems]

Thank you! The rings are gifts from my family :)

[@pamelasteburg6006]

The peyote stitch is just a turm used to explain a certain type of stitching with beads.

[@CrystalStarGems]

I agree Pamela :)

[@Naillady51]

Ty so much. So cute

[@CrystalStarGems]

You’re welcome 😊

[@sharonschebesta4160]

I love this but had a hard time seeing what beads you were going into... Delicas are so small

[@CrystalStarGems]

I appreciate your comment and Delica beads are indeed very small. I will try to film the next video a little closer.

[@selinagarza1072]

you're putting 2 on the sides and 1 on each corner but you said the opposite so I guess I follow what you do not what you say or it could get a little confusing for us beginners, but i love you ideas❤

[@CrystalStarGems]

You did have me going for a minute or two there Selina because I really thought I had double checked the video before I uploaded it! But no harm done and I'm glad you took the time to get in touch with your concern, even though it was unfounded. :)

[@ziggycrafts5316]

I love this so beautiful. But may I ask how do you weave in your ends for this?

[@CrystalStarGems]

Thank you for the compliment - I only weave in at the end of piece otherwise I use a continuous Fireline join.

[@mariaap6645]

So beautiful work But hard to follow with such small beads 😢

[@CrystalStarGems]

Thank you for your constructive criticism Maria. I will try to video the beads closer in future videos. :)

[@khadijahal-masabili5047]

👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️🌹🌹🌹🥰🥰🥰

[@abeerhamid808]

Woooooow

[@CrystalStarGems]

Thank you!

[@ritaspratlen]

I am making a square and it has 3 in the corner? What do you do when you have to jump up and it lands on the 3 beaded corner?

[@CrystalStarGems]

You might find it easier just to pass through all the corner beads and to then exit an 'up' bead on the next side Rita? I hope this makes sense :)

[@ritaspratlen]

Thanks I will try that. I am making a box and I seem too loose the step up bead! You are great at what you do!!

[@pamelasteburg6006]

What size is the thread and needle you are using?

[@CrystalStarGems]

I use 6lb Fireline and a No.10 or No.12 beading needle.

[@selinagarza1072]

nevermind I was wrong I realized the longer I watched 😮

[@va50363]

Это же бабушкин квадрат!

[@CrystalStarGems]

:)

[@cyan1616]

That's a "Granny Square".. has nothing at all to do with native americans. jfc... even the beads were invented by non native people.

[@helenm6543]

Actually, peyote is not an original native American craft. It originated in Africa.

[@CrystalStarGems]

Thank you for your comment. It only looks like a 'Granny Square' (which is usually made in crochet) because of the colours I have used. Peyote was traditionally stitched using seed beads, Delica beads give a more uniform finish to a design. Examples of Peyote have also been found in Europe and Africa and so the stitch is not a uniquely Native American craft.
