Project & Sample by Danielle Wickes
Tutorial Broadcast on June 6, 2026

Mixing sizes of seed beads in a peyote rope makes such a cool ripple effect in the beadwork! We will use an even-count peyote in the round to work a lovely rope design that can be worked onto or strung onto a cord with many options such as leather.
