Step Five - Bead In Some Finishing Touches

Add a Few Finishing Touches

Add a Few Finishing Touches

Once you have your accent beads added, make loops around them by coming out a few beads ahead of the added bead picking up a few seeds, going through the seed at the top of the accent bead, then picking up some more seeds and re-entering the edge on the other side of the accent bead. Don't just make perfect round little loops. Try putting a bunch of beads on one side and only a couple on the other so that the accent bead will turn almost parallel with the edge. Make each loop a different size and shape. Then go back and Peyote Stitch the loops, either inside the loop or outside, or both! Wherever you think it would look good. Add more loops connecting loops, little sticks or fringes of beads, picots, whatever. Just let your imagination run wild! If there are spots on the peyote strip that seem "blank", go ahead and add beads there too.
