The purple bracelet is the first one I ever made. This is such an easy stitch to learn. Both projects are done using size 6 e beads
. The purple one is strung on fireline
and the multicolored on Nymo
beading thread. It is done with a 2 drop peyote technique, whereas the purple is regular even count peyote stitch.

I used bigger beads than those shown in these videos, cause I am a newbie at this, and they are easier to see. I also must say that I prefer the fireline over the nymo. It gives more hold and tension, so the beads stayed where they were put. I like that. For clasp on both bracelets, I used a button on one side with a seed bead loop on the other to fasten. There are lots of other options for finishing your bracelet. I found this cool article with 4 finishing techniques, at Beading Daily (LOOOVE this site).
