Miyuki heart bracelet tutorial
In this tutorial, I'll teach you how to make a beautiful heart bracelet using Miyuki Delica beads and the peyote technique. I'll also show you how to tie a slip knot so you don't have to use a classic metal clasp, making this bracelet even more special.
Materials needed to make the bracelets:
Miyuki Delica 11/0 : I have used the colors « Opaque White «, « DYED Opaque Red » and « Duracoat Galvanized Gold ». For the base color (in this case white) you will need 3 grams of Delicas, for red 2 grams and for gold 1 gram.
Miyuki Rocalla 6/0 : I have used the color « Light Gold Silver Lined »
Griffin Thread 1mm : I have used the color " Garnet«

Pattern to follow for making the bracelet.
This heart bracelet is a very special piece of craftsmanship. What makes this bracelet even more special is the use of a sliding knot closure, which allows it to fit perfectly on any wrist.
Unlike conventional metal clasps, the sliding knot is a very comfortable clasp to use, as it allows you to adjust the bracelet to your exact size, ensuring it's neither too tight nor too loose. The tension between both pairs of cords is created by a square knot made with the same cord as the ends of the bracelet.
The cord used for this bracelet is Griffin, a high-quality acrylic cord. An advantage of this type of cord is that, since it's acrylic, you can melt the ends with a lighter to prevent fraying. This way, you can achieve a professional finish on your bracelet that will ensure its durability over time.
And voilà! You now have a beautiful heart bracelet made with Miyuki Delica beads using the peyote technique. Don't forget that on my YouTube channel you'll find more complete video tutorials to follow along step-by-step with the entire process for making more handmade jewelry creations.
