However, you can say you created this piece of DIY jewelry all on your own! If you've never had the feel of a peyote stitch cuff on your wrist, this is an excellent seed bead pattern to try it out for the first time.

  2. When the bracelet reaches the desired length, loop one end of the flat peyote piece through the bar on one side of the tube bar clasp. Weave the thread in and out between beads on the end row and beads in the base of the bracelet. Weave back down through a few rows, and use a Perfect End Thread Burner to burn the end of the thread.
