This is a lighter case i made as a birthday gift to my boyfriend using a tubular peyote stitch. I used a graph I downloaded off the web and painted in the boxes (of 44 sideways and 33 up) to make a design. Then started at the very corner of my design and worked my way diagonally to complete. To start i made a ring of beads to fit my lighter then when back thru the first bead i added, add a bead then thru a bead then add a bead and thru a bead and so on. Its really simple and fun. And addictive. This isnt my first case but my 5th, but is my first using a graph. It was hard to follow at first but i got the hang of it and didn't need it afterwards. I usually just freehand my designs and go by what i see. I will add more things I created as soon as I load more pics. Thanks for viewing my project. Ive just learnt to bead and really love it.
