In this video tutorial from Potomac Bead Company, Allie shows you how to use strips of peyote stitch to cover up large 2-hole beads, like these gemstones. This technique is similar to those that we will be using on Carrier beads, however, Carrier beads have been out of stock with the factory for some time. These are limited run gemstones with which you can use this technique. However, once these gemstones are gone, they are gone!
