    Quick Project Steps

    This PotomacBeads tutorial shows you how to use a Peyote stitch to create the Crystal Valley Bracelet. This project is suited to experienced beaders or those with some patience but the results are well worth it!
    1.Cut two pieces of 28 links of size 14.5 crystal cup chain. Using a size 10/12 needle, put a stop bead onto 3 feet of Wildfire thread. Pick up 5 superduos, 3 15/0s, 3 11/0s and 3 more 15/0s. Wrap the thread around the first link in the chain and bring the needle through the last 15/0s. This secures the project to the chain.
    2.Watch the Crystal Valley Bracelet tutorial to follow along with Heather as she shows you how to create the beaded bracelet.
    3. Pick up 6 seed beads and the cup button. Add 2 more seed beads and thread down the other hole of the button and the 6 seed beads. Make a loop out of seed beads on the other end of the project to fit the button. Use a Peyote stitch to add more seed beads to the loop and then fill in the gaps with 15/0s.
    It’s worth your time to create this dazzling Crystal Valley Bracelet. You’ll love the way it looks and feels on your wrist. Check out PotomacBeads for any of the materials you may need.
