Arrow Bracelet with Miyuki Delica

April 22, 2022

Learn how to make this beautiful creation using the Peyote Stitch technique and Miyuki Delica 11/0 beads. You can follow our simple step-by-step instructions on our YouTube channel.

What is the Peyote technique

Peyote stitch is a type of weaving that we do with beads, using a needle and thread. It is normally done with Miyuki beads, since we need all the beads we use to be calibrated, that is, to have exactly the same measurements so that the work is perfect and the beauty of this technique can be fully appreciated. It is like placing bricks on the wall of a house.

What material do I need?

Materials needed to make the bracelet:

By following our simple video tutorial you can create your own “ARROWS Bracelet”. You can also purchase all the necessary materials to make it in our online store.

How to start making the bracelet

First we will place a bead that will serve as a stopper to begin the creation. In this case, an 8/0 seed bead.

We will start by lining up 16 Delicas, in my case 6 in green, followed by 4 in bronze and again 6 in green.

Next we will string Delicas with the Peyote stitch, first 4 green ones to get to the center of the bracelet, where we will string 2 bronze-colored Delicas at a time and finish with another 4 green Delicas.

We will make a total of 7 rows of Delicas with the Peyote Stitch in green and then we can change to the Mint color.

When we go towards the inside of the bracelet we place 4 Delicas and when we go towards the outside we will place only 3. In the center always two bronze-colored Delicas threaded together at the same time and without making Peyote.

In the video I also show you how to add thread when we run out of the thread we were working with.

And when we have the bracelet of the desired length we will make the closure. In our case a "Button" closure. To do this we will place a Button at one end of the bracelet.
