This pretty daisy necklace is stitched using peyote stitch and is really quick to make.
This pretty daisy necklace is stitched using peyote stitch and is really quick to make.
Thread the needle with a comfortable length of thread, pick up 36A. Work two rows of peyote using A beads
Wrap the peyote strip around your finger and join the ends together to form a ring by sewing through both beads at each end in a figure of 8 pattern. This will be the bezel for the rivoli.
Continue around the bezel in peyote using C beads. Work two rows of peyote keeping a tight tension to make the diameter of the bezel smaller. Work the needle through to exit an A bead on the other edge of the bezel.
Push the rivoli inside so that it is snug and work two rows of peyote using the C beads to capture the rivoli in the bezel. Finish off the tail end of thread but leave the working thread attached.
Work the needle through to exit an A bead in one of the middle two rows of A beads. Pick up 8B, skip the last one, and go back down through the 7th. Pick up 5B and go down through the 1st B, then through the A bead of the bezel again in the same direction as before to form the first petal.
Go diagonally through the next A bead of the bezel, pick up 8B, skip the last one and go back down through the 7th. Pick up 4B and go through the 2nd B of the previous petal, then through the 1st B of this petal and back through the A of the bezel.
Repeat Step 6 till you have 35 petals.
For the 36th petal pick up 1B and go through the last B added in the very 1st petal. Pick up 6B, skip the last one and go back down through the 5th. Pick up 4B and go down through the 2nd B of the 35th petal, then through the 1st B of this petal and back through the A of the bezel. Finish of the thread end by weaving through a few beads of the bezel in a ‘figure of eight’ pattern.
Thread the silk ribbon through two of the petals and tie a knot in both ends to stop the ribbon fraying. ** You can make a slider for the ribbon by picking up 10A or B beads and working in peyote until you have a strip just long enough to zip up around the two ends of the ribbon (approx.. 16 rows). Finish off the thread ends. **
