With the peyote technique you can make flowers, which is super fun to make!
In this example we are working with 2 colors. Color 1 is the color that is in between the flowers and color 2 is the color of the flower.
Start with peyote (even number), 2 beads per row. Pick a diffrent color for beads 5,6,8 and 9.
Tip: Bead number 7 will be the heart of the flower. It’s also a nice variantion to pick a 3rd color for the heart of the flower.
Thread back through bead 6 and 7. Now string 2 beads of the second color onto the thread (bead 10 and 11). These beads form the last 2 petals of the flower.
To secure the petals, thread back through bead 7 and 8. Now you can continue with peyote.
In this example there is a space of 2 rows of beads between the flowers. You can adjust this to your liking, but keep the rows in an even number so that the flowers will alternate in their position.
Repeat from step 1.
Tips and inspiration for peyote flowers:
– You can make this with space in between the flowers or without any space.
– You can also make it wider. To do this, start with 5 rows of beads.
Good luck and enjoy!
