This is a very pretty cuff. And what the previous poster said is true. In a project like this it's best to use a quality brand seed bead. Like Toho. I have had a problem with the cheaper glass ones. Not only are the sizes not the same but the colors tend to be different too.

somehow I couldn't get a large copy of the bracelet pattern. I probably did something wrong.

I would suggest that only the more experienced beaders try this one. And I would also suggest that you use the beads specified and dont try to substitute cheaper alternatives. When working a Peyote Cuff, its most important that the beads fit well together. Many of the budget bead options can be slightly odd-shaped, and even a little different in size.

This is cool. I like the choice of bright hued beads. Most stitched projects are crystals or darker hues. This is a fresh idea!
