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!!
