Freeform Peyote Bracelet Tutorial

In today's video, I'm going to show you a new version of the FreeForm Peyote Bracelet. We previously did a FreeForm Peyote and this is essentially based on that stitch. What I love about this one is that it's not only perfect for Autumn but also looks great with any color combination. I'm working with Miyuki Seed Beads and Miyuki Cube Beads. Happy Beading!!

    I generally get great customer service when I contact the help desk, but in on my last order I notified them about having received a different item than that which I ordered and it's been nearly two business days without a response.
