    Quick Project Steps

    Prepare Your Materials: Gather your Miyuki 8/0 seed beads, a size 10 beading needle, and Wildfire beading thread. Start with an 11/0 seed bead as a stop bead to prevent beads from falling off.
    Start the Stitch: Thread eight 8/0 seed beads and tie them in a circular form to start the tubular shape.
    Begin Tubular Peyote: Follow the peyote stitch pattern in a circular motion, adding beads in contrasting colors to easily track your progress and build the tubular shape.
    Continue Adding Rows: Maintain even tension and add rows according to the pattern, alternating colors as you go to enhance the design.
    Finish the Piece: Seamlessly connect the ends for a complete bracelet or add decorative caps/cones for a polished look.
