KNOWLEDGE of odd count peyote is needed as there are no instructions for this stitch with the pattern!
THIS IS A PATTERN. You are NOT purchasing the items in the photo! THIS IS A PATTERN.
I love LOVE! Everything about it makes me happy! There is JOY, PEACE and lots of HEARTS in my "vision" of LOVE! In this design, I have "captured" the hearts of my family, friends and beady-types, like YOU! I count the many blessing I have in my life AND I am so thankful!
I always use 4lb Fire Line fishing line to stitch; a long, size 12 beading needle; size 11/0 Delica beads and a toggle bar and ring for the closure.
To work the optional PICOT trim, as designed, I used Miyuki 15/0 round seeds, #15-1053, GALVANIZED YELLOW GOLD; (2) 3mm Fire Polish Crystals in SIAM RUBY; (22) 2mm round beads in MATTE CORAL and (28) Fire Polish Crystals in TURQUOISE FLASH PEARL.
I used 8 different DELICA bead colors for a total of 1658 beads! There are 17 columns. and 195 rows.
The finished size of my CAPTURED HEARTS bracelet measures 6 1/2 inches by 1 1/8 inches, measured at the center with the trim included.
If you need to lengthen your bracelet, continue working the pattern at each end until you have reached your desired length.
So when you stitch this design and then when you wear it, I pray you are reminded of all the LOVE you have within your heart and know there is so much more to give and to receive! And speaking of giving, I know your Bestest Friend, or Grandma or the next door Neighbor will LOVE you for it, when you gift them this bracelet.
Until next time, Dear Friends...
