How to make Odd Count Peyote Stitch Ring
Odd Count Peyote Stitch Ring is a type of beaded ring made using the Peyote Stitch technique, a popular bead weaving technique. In Peyote Stitch, beads are woven together using a needle and thread, and the stitch creates a pattern of beads that can be used to make a variety of jewelry pieces.
An Odd Count Peyote Stitch Ring is made using an odd number of beads in the first row of the pattern. This means that the stitch starts with three beads, unlike even count Peyote Stitch which starts with two beads. The odd number of beads creates a staggered pattern that forms the basis of the ring.
The Odd Count Peyote Stitch Ring can be made in a variety of colors and patterns, depending on the beads used and the personal preference of the maker. It is a popular jewelry piece because it is relatively easy to make, yet creates a unique and stylish accessory.
To make an Odd Count Peyote Stitch Ring, you will need the following materials:
- Size 11/0 seed beads in two different colors (A and B)
- Beading thread
- Beading needle
- Scissors
Here are the steps to make an Odd Count Peyote Stitch Ring:
Cut a length of beading thread about 2 yards long. Thread your needle and tie a knot at the end of the thread.
String three beads in color A onto the thread. Slide them down to the knot, leaving a 6-inch tail.
Pass your needle through the first two beads in the opposite direction to form a loop.
String one bead in color B onto the thread, and pass the needle through the next bead in color A. Pull the thread tight to form a stitch.
Repeat step 4, adding one bead in color B and passing the needle through the next bead in color A.
Continue adding beads in this pattern until you have reached the desired length for your ring. For example, if you want a size 7 ring, you'll need to add about 44 beads.
To form the ring, bring the ends of the beaded strip together, making sure that the beads are lined up correctly. Pass your needle through the first and last beads to form a ring.
To reinforce the ring, pass the needle back through several beads, working in a circular pattern around the ring.
Tie off the thread and trim the ends close to the beads.
Your Odd Count Peyote Stitch Ring is now complete!
