Textured Candy Cane Bracelet Video Tutorial Revamp

At Christmas of 2014, I put out my very first video tutorial for the Textured Candy Cane Bracelet. It's made with a modified DNA Spiral Stitch, so it works up quickly, and requires a little bit of Wire Wrapping for the ends. I have revamped the video a bit, cutting out almost 10 minutes of time, without compromising the information you receive. If you make one, I'd love to see it!

Free Peyote Stitch Pattern: Pumpkin Patch Bracelet

Hey Everybeady!  I have here a free seasonal bracelet pattern for you!  It only takes 5 bead colors, and is made using Even-Count Peyote Stitch, with a 

Peyote Decrease. This pattern is 30 beads wide.  The finished pattern, as shown, is approximately 6-7/8” when made with 11/0 Cylinder Beads. Your chosen method of clasp attachment will add to the length.  I chose not to continue the Silver-plated ribbon detail into the decrease in my finished photo, but I included it in the pattern just in case you wanted to use it! This pattern is for your own personal and small business use!  You may feel free to sell any items that you, yourself, have made using all or part of it, but I do ask that you not mass produce the item represented here, nor teach the pattern for profit.  

Left click on each picture, and choose Save As from the dropdown box to download the pattern.  It should download it in a higher resolution than shown.

I'd love to see your finished piece!  Post yours on my Facebook page at: https://www.facebook.com/PeacockBeadShop/ , or email me at Megan@PeacockBeadShop.com to show me your work.

Happy Beading!

The 'Eyes' Have It!

The new Swarovski 'Eye' Fancy Stones are up in the web shop!  I decided on three color: Blue, Green, and Red Brown.  They measure 10.5x18mm, and have no hole.  Glue-in settings are forthcoming, but these can also be beaded around, or you can use Crystal Clay as well.

Each photo is clickable to the product.

Just in: White Ultrasuede

I've added White Ultrasuede to the website!  Winter is coming, afterall, and we might need it!

This is the brightest white currently made.

This is a great backing for beadwork, as well as millinery bits, and costumes.  Elsa anyone?
