    Help Please

     Hi im fairly new to beading and i learned alot of different stitches peyote being my favorite right now. What i would like to know is how do i make the even count flat peyote stitch curve? Im trying to create a bracelet that has 2 peyote strips but i want them to curve back and forth. With one overlapping the other during the curve. I think im explaining it right. It would basically look like X and O's. I hope i explained it well enough for someone to help me. Thanks

    If I understand correctly, I think you want to create two bands that are wavy and then 'braid' them together?  If so, one way to do it would be to connect smaller bands of peyote with strands of beads like these Athena bracelets

    Otherwise, I would use herringbone weave with different sized seed beads to create a wave affect.  You may also be able to adapt this zig-zag pattern to suite your needs:

    Those are just a few ideas - I hope it helps get the ball rolling at least!

     I like those. But i was referring to the curves going in the opposite direction creating an X and O look. There will be a little space between the two peyote strips. I seen a pic somewhere before i need to find it. But i do like the ones you posted. Thanks.
