HOW TO MAKE
1- Condition and thread a manageable length
of Fireline through a beading needle. Pass the
needle through two cream delicas and one
purple delica. - Pass the needle through the three delicas one
more time. Pull the thread so that the beads sit
in a triangle. Secure in place with a surgeon’s
knot, but leave the excess thread in place. - Pass the needle through the bead next to the
knot. Add two delicas to the thread, making
sure that the beads on the thread are the
same colour as the beads they will sit next to.
Pass the needle through the next bead in the
triangle of beads.
4. Add two more delicas and pass the needle
through the next bead in the triangle. Add a fi nal
two beads to this row and then pass the needle
up through the fi rst of the two beads added in
this row to step up to begin the next row.
5. Add two more delicas and pass through the
next bead. Add one bead to the thread and then
pass through the next bead in the triangle. Add
two beads, then one, then two then one.
6. Step up. This is the process to create
peyote-beaded triangles. Add further rows of
beads until the desired size has been reached.
Make sure each side is equal before moving
on to Step 7.

of the triangle until it is next to the tail of
thread. Secure with a knot and trim away
any excess thread. - Make a further eight triangles, in varying
sizes, following the previous steps. Use
jumprings to join one triangle to the next by
passing the jumpring through a delica. Join all
of the triangles in this way. - Add a jumpring to both of the end triangles;
thread a length of ribbon through each of the
jumprings. Pull the ribbon until the two ends
meet, and then pass a closed jumpring over
both ends and slide it down to the triangles.
