**THIS IS A FLAT ODD COUNT PEYOTE PATTERN. You will work FLAT, then zip up the piece to form the tube.**

I’m showing my age here, but when I was in high school back in the 70’s, one of my favorite songs was "PRECIOUS AND FEW". I was thinking of this song while I was designing this lip balm cover!

I stitched the original using a size 12 beading needle and 4lb FIRELINE fishing line.

I used size 11/0 Delica beads to create this pattern and size 15/0 seeds for the 3-bead picot trim.

I have used some lovely gold metallic size 15/0 round seed beads for the trim. THIS STEP IS OPTIONAL.

When you’ve completed the design, you will "zip" up the back by going in and out of each side. I stitch the top/bottom beads twice to secure. Weave in your ends.

I used 6 colors making 33 columns and 66 rows using a total of 1221 beads.

The cover as designed measures 2 3/4 inches around by a 1 7/8 inches tall.

Wow, 1975 was a long time ago. Those times are PRECIOUS and FEW.....

*******************************************************

Within the pattern you will find full color photos of the finished piece; a DELICA bead legend (listing of colors used); a full color graph large enough to read easily and a WORD CHART of the pattern. FOUR fun, wonderful pages!!!

This pattern is in the form of a PDF file, a digital pattern, that will be readily available to you once your payment is received.

I don't mind if you make these to sell, but please give me the credit for the design within your listing of your finished piece. I would greatly appreciate it.

There are NO REFUNDS on digital files.
