Designer's Material List

The Designer’s suggested colors and materials:
  • Miyuki seed beads in sizes 11/0 (orange for the pumpkin body, green for the stem), and 15/0 (black for detailing).
  • Ear wires (if making earrings).
  • Beading needle (size 10 or 12 recommended).
  • Beading thread (a few yards).

    • Quick Project Steps

    Prepare the Materials: Gather orange 11/0, green 11/0, and black 15/0 Miyuki seed beads, ear wires (if making earrings), a beading needle, and thread.
    Start with Flat Peyote: Using orange 11/0 beads, begin with a flat peyote stitch to form the base of the pumpkin.
    Build the Body: Transition to a tubular peyote stitch with the same orange beads to create the pumpkin's 3D body, adding black 15/0 beads for detailing.
    Form the Stem: Decrease the tubular peyote stitch and switch to green 11/0 beads to craft the stem.
    Finish and Assemble: Complete the stem and attach your pumpkin to ear wires for earrings or use as desired for other jewelry pieces.
