In this PotomacBeads tutorial, learn how to use a Peyote stitch with a twist to create the Ocular Delica Bracelet. This simple yet striking design uses pearls for a touch of elegance.
1. Put a stop bead onto size 6 Dragonthread, leaving about 10 inches for a tail. Add 3 delica beads and a 4mm Potomac Pearl. Repeat the pattern three more times. Sew back through the first 5 beads to form a circle.
2. Watch the Ocular Delica Bracelet tutorial to follow along with Allie as she guides you step-by-step through the process of creating the delica and pearl bracelet.
3. Once you’re done with your pattern, it’s time to attach the clasp. Pick up a pearl and the infinite clasp, go back down through the pearl. Weave the thread back to the interior of the project and tie off. Burn off the loose end and glue a cabochon into the clasp.
The Ocular Delica Bracelet design can easily be modified to make a chain look necklace or a lovely pair of matching earrings. Why not make a set for someone special?
