You are purchasing a flat ODD count peyote digital pattern....NOT THE ITEM IN THE PHOTO.
KNOWLEDGE of odd count peyote is needed as there are no instructions for the stitch within this pattern.
You will work FLAT, then zip up the piece to form the tube. My beaded covers fit most standard size lip balm tubes such as Burt’s Bees and Blistex. If you find your completed cover to be loose on your lip balm tube, simply add some double stick tape to the balm tube and replace your cover.
Rob and I recently ate at a Mexican restaurant here in the Heart of Texas. They had beautiful tile, in of all places, the bathroom! I was quite taken with this particular tile piece. It was the focal tile and was brilliantly colored with the deep maroon and blue flowers. It also had golden swirls all about! Simply stunning! This design worked up beautifully for a lip balm cover. I hope you like it!
I stitched the original using a size 12 beading needle, 4lb FireLine fishing line, size 11/0 Delica beads and Miyuki size 15/0 round seed beads in SILVER LINED SAPPHIRE AB (#15-1019) for the optional PICOT trim.
I used 9 colors making 37 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, lying flat!
This cover was photographed using my favorite Burt's Bees balm....MANGO! Yummy!
