    Quick Project Steps

    Prepare Your Materials: Gather all beads, a needle, and thread. Start with a stop bead to secure your work.
    Begin the Peyote: Using the three-drop peyote stitch, start building your first layer with your chosen color scheme.
    Create Additional Layers: Continue with the peyote stitch, adding layers in your selected colors. Pay attention to the order to achieve the desired layered effect.
    Connect the Layers: Once your peyote sections are complete, overlap them slightly and use your thread to stitch them together, ensuring they are securely attached.
    Finish the Necklace: Add a necklace component by stringing beads or creating a beaded chain to attach to either side of the peyote sections. Finish with a clasp or button for closure.
    Add Embellishments (Optional): Consider adding drops or other decorative elements to enhance the layered look or create additional pieces such as earrings for a matching set.
