Procedure

Step 1

The bracelet and earrings

12 sewn petals and 6 metal petals are hung on a chain. The length of the closed bracelet is about 17.5 cm.

String 1x IP and 5x R. Tie off the ends of the lines.

Step 2

Thread the line through 3x R. Create an eye. String 4x R. Thread the line through them again with the R from the base. Thread the line through the remaining 2x R by the IP. Pull the second end of the line into the IP.

Step 3

String 3x R, 1x IP and 3x R on the side. Thread the line through the R on the opposite side of the IP.

Step 4

Thread the line through the last R from the newly strung beads. String 1x R. Thread the line through the R next to the IP. Proceed according to Step 3. Thread the line through the R on the opposite side of the IP. String 1x R. Thread the line through the first R from Step 3.

Step 5

Thread the line through the last added R. Add 2x 1 R (peyote stitch) at every alternate R. Add the point. String 7x R. Thread the line through the 6^th R. String 5x R. Thread the line through the R next to the IP. Add 2x 1 R at every alternate R.

Step 6

Add 5x 1 R along both sides of the petal using the peyote stitch. Sew 1x IP to the top R at the point.

Step 7

Add 5x 1 R along both sides of the petal using the peyote stitch. Thread the line through the top IP. Sew the line in. Hide a simple knot in the R or a double knot in the IP.

Step 8

Create all 12 petals (4 in each shade).

Step 9

The length of the chain is about 20 cm. Attach a carabiner to one end and link 1x IP to the other.
