Bead Weaving Tutorial: Chevron or Arrow Bracelet

Leslie demonstrates how to create a strip of bead weaving using peyote stitch and herringbone stitch that can be used for a bracelet. The shape results in an arrow or chevron shape.
Knowledge of flat odd count peyote stitch is useful.
Materials: size 11/0 delica or seed beads, thread or monofilament, #10 needle.

[@bethanymckittrick8644]

[@leighaparker8798]

Mooore videos please! I really enjoyed the way you taught in this video. Very calming and I didn't feel rushed because you went through the process! You should have been a teacher! Lots of love from North Carolina! ♡

[@sueellens]

Thank you so much for sharing this technique! This pattern is awesome and I can definitely do this. I’ve learned several different ways to make “the turn” in odd count so this makes perfect sense. I’ve enjoyed all of your tutorials. 💋

[@Judy9248]

I LOVE IT, YOU ARE A GREAT TEACHER. GOD BLESS YOU AND THANKS FOR SHARING!!

Wonderful bracelet! Thank you for sharing your knowledge....

[@doraclay1]

I LOVE this bracelet! I have made chevron patterns on flat peyote, but I love the way the beads sit diagonally in this design.

Nice video, thanks for sharing!! Greetings from Chile ☺️

[@lorifinney7396]

Thank you! I have been messing around with this on my own with little success; I would never have come up with this method.

[@kfamily381]

Wonderful tutorial

[@eugeniezamora2655]

Beautiful bracelet

[@joselynsphar1905]

Thank you for sharing! Love the bracelets and going to try my hand at it. Was hoping that you would have shown how you added the magnetic clasps. Do you have a video showing that?

[@lorrainesmith4074]

So gorgeous thanks 👍

[@Pherine1]

Hi Leslie, fantastic tutorial, I was searching for a bracelet that I could make for my daughter in Pride colours, this was the perfect one. A couple of things though, first Im not sure if you mentioned at the beginning of the tutorial that you were using three colours so that it was clearer for us to see, but I finished the first arrow head piece, then realised that your other bracelets were block colours which is what I wanted, so I started again, I'd had to start over 5 times before i got the hang of it though. Second thing was that I found it quite confusing when you were saying that we would stop increasing, then when you got to the top you said now do the herringbone increase, eventually as the video went on I realise what you meant. x x x

[@CPSMELSER]

Love it 💞

[@eileenwhite3711]

Love this! Thanks! I would like more info on the magnetic snaps you used, if possible.

[@joraeperkins]

thank you for explaining the drop. I am working on chevron bracelet and it was getting too wide as the other tutorial did not show how to drop one. Happy New Year!

[@cheriyoung4888]

Love the bracelet. I’ve made two already. What is your source for the magnetic snaps?

[@yakot_handmade1432]

عمل رائع ☺

[@louignaflores2204]

Genial

[@hell_girl1286]

perfect

[@lindablyton1885]

I have been looking for the clasp. Please show a close up picture , and where ordering from. Love the bracelet, fun to make.

[@james100602]

I would love to see your knitting. Your bracelet is beautiful.

[@huckaday]

Love this! I was looking for something new (to me) to try that isn't too "over the top" (gaudy) as some patterns can be sometimes, and this is perfect! Is there any print outs for this available anywhere? If not I can always take screenshots of the video and print out for when I don't have any devices available to watch it from, but if there is anything already made that would be awesome! Thanks again for taking the time make this video! 😊

[@804hum]

Thank you for the video. If possible can you please also show how to attach the magnet button? Do we sew it with the beads ?

[@sarajanehaven]

Thank you for demonstrating this stitch, It's new to me and I will be trying it out very soon. Those magnetic sew-ons are great! Mind sharing where you got them?

[@SeedBeadBliss]

I ordered them on Etsy--look for magnetic sew on snaps!

[@simonsays5552]

Thank you! I still don't know the name of this stitch 😅

[@conniejojensen6057]

Slow to the craft. Loved your Utube demo. I finally got the odd peyote stitch from you tutorial. Hope to see more of them! Where can I find the magnetic squares you used on the bracelet in the demo. Thank you so much!

[@barbaracook1890]

Very nice ! What are the snaps you use ?

[@idblackshear]

This was great tutorial. Would you be willing to do a tutorial on how you attach the clasp? I’m super new to bracelet making that I struggle with clasps.

[@lindyloo2265]

To make a peyote triangle , I always started with three beads. It is much easier!!

[@alannunes8819]

Nice video! Are you planning to show us a haul of your work?

[@mummsiej6179]

Crazy question, but do you by any chance remember the names/numbers of the 3 bead colors?

[@clairclair2966]

Seems a bit too complicated for me but yours looks on point 👌🏻

[@kajira63]

Love 💕💕 this. I've never figured how to do the magnetic clasps yours has. Any chance if a quick video showing how its done?

[@emanueladavis1885]

Me too, I bought some years ago and never used them. Wish someone would show how to add these to the bracelet for beginners who want to have a go. Nice work.

[@SeedBeadBliss]

First I use a bit of glue to position them in the right place. Its' really hard to try to sew them on and position them at the same time! Once it's dried I sew them on. It's tricky--you have to be careful not to break beads. Use a #12 needle and 6# fireline.

[@jenniferschloemer7469]

Seed Bead Bliss Where can I purchase those magnetic clasps? I have tried other closures, but I would love to have a more sleek look.

[@donnahilliard2748]

Seed Bead Blis

[@footnut1234]

I made the bracelet! How do you attach the magnetic clasps? Do you sew them or glue them? Thanks in advance!

[@SeedBeadBliss]

I did both. A little glue to secure them in the right place--helps with placement. Then I sewed on the snaps to secure them.

[@judycluney3032]

I totally love this bracelet, I've made several...I have people that would like me to make them one..can you give me a price to sale....thank you

[@leighaparker8798]

I would personally charge in between $25-up in my Etsy store.... depending upon the type of Delica bead used (14k gold, galvanized silver, duracoat, etc.) But I have seen many, many, many over priced items such as this all over Etsy. But a fair price would be determined by supply cost, in my humble opinion! Hope that helps. :)

[@angelajanethagudelosolorza8924]

Es muy linda pero nos deja a mitad del camino☹️

[@barbaragaskins3921]

Do you ever sell your patterns? Thank you so much

[@amberburnett336]

Going to try this with 14 year old girls. What do you do when you run out of thread and how do you tie it off?

[@SeedBeadBliss]

Just leave a few inches hanging off of both the old and new threads. At the end you can weave them in--I rarely tie knots.

[@tracyhall4648]

Can this be done with seed beads size 8/0?

[@lilette4480]

.

[@11rochs]

This tutorial is really hard to follow because you keep chaining the orientation of the peak of the herring bone.

[@jaramcconnell]

Hi I would really love to know how you would it on the magnetic snaps please you can do @jarayoungdesigns please
