I purchased all of these colors online through Caravan Beads. If you have difficulty finding a color, feel free to substitute a similar color of your choice. (Colors are sometimes discontinued by the manufacturer.)
Beading Supplies
As with any flat peyote stitch pattern, you'll need your kit of essential beadweaving supplies. I used size D Nymo beading thread, but you can use any beading thread that is equivalent to size D or 6-pound test. I also used a size 10 beading needle.
