Pen decorated with seed beads in peyote stitch

Today we will learn one more beading technique: a tubular peyote stitch. It is a kind of peyote stitch technique that was already used in our tutorials. Using this beading technique we will decorate a pen with seed bead.
We will need:
- a pen to be decorated; I used an ordinary gel pen with an outer diameter of 9 mm,
- Czech seed beads #10; I used seed beads of red and blue colors,
- nylon thread and a needle for beading.

Earrings hearts in peyote stitch

We continue learning the new methods of beading. Today we turn our attention to the technique of peyote stitch. We've already got an idea of this technique, as you can remember we made the image of the Zodiac sign of Capricorn lately with it. But at that time we used a fishing line with a single needle, this way of peyote stitch is applied when a product contains an even number of beads in width. If the number of beads in the product's width is odd, the weaving should be conducted with the help of two needles. Using this technique, today we will make earrings shaped like hearts. In addition, in the process of beading we will consider some techniques which are used in the weaving of figurate mosaic products.
