    Quick Project Steps

    Challenge yourself to learn how to use a number of different stitches, including Peyote, Herringbone and Right Angle Weave to encase a Potomac crystal rivoli in the the Crystal Kites Bracelet.
    1.Begin with a size 10 needle on a 5 feet length of .006 Wildfire beading thread. Put on a stop bead, leaving about 2 inches for a tail. Pick up 4 seed beads and let them drop down to the stop bead. Take the needle back up through 3 of the beads and pull them into a box. This is the first RAW unit.
    2.Watch the Crystal Kites tutorial to follow along with Allie as she creates the components used in this beaded bracelet.
    3.Connect the peyote stitch loop to one end of the bracelet by sewing through the Potomac crystal rondelle. Add a few seed beads to sides of the crystal to reinforce the connection. Sew the toggle bar onto the other side of the project by creating a small loop with seed beads.
    Use the components in the Crystal Kites bracelet to create other pieces of jewelry such as earrings or pendants. If you need any materials for this project, check out the great selection at PotomacBeads.
