Make Beaded Tube Beads with Peyote Stitch.
It is easy to vary the width and length of the tube to come up with slightly different looks.
1. Pick up an even number of beads for the first two rows of your peyote tube bead. We have picked up 16 beads (1MB* - 14DB** - 1MB).
Continue the peyote stitch until you have enough rows to roll into a tube. Our square of peyote - 16 rows.
In order to count peyote stitch rows, you can either count the number of beads on each side and add them, or zig-zag up the first and second columns of beads.
