Instructor: Paula Gething

Project name: Christmas Tree Cuff

Skill Level: Beginner

Kit Provided: No – see below for supply list

Description:

Use peyote stitch to create your very own Christmas Cuff, complete with decorated trees. A simple concept, with loads of decoration options, your Christmas Cuff will be perfect for wearing during the festive season.

A simple clasp keeps it secure and your ‘tree’ decorations can be themed to match your own aesthetic. Classy or colourful, classic or modern – make it your own!

Supply List:

  • For Cuff – Size 11 seedbeads (preferably Myuki) – 10g
  • For ‘Trees’ – Size 11 Triangle OR Hex Beads (Toho) 5g
  • Assorted beads for decoration – seedbeads in size 15 and 11, Demi Round Beads (size 8), 3mm
  • crystals or pearls, in assorted colours to contrast the ‘tree’. Silver or gold beads make perfect ‘stars’ for the top of the tree as well.
  • For Cuff edging – Size 11 seedbeads (preferably Myuki) – 5g (silver lined works well for this finish, and should contrast the cuff seedbead colour)
  • Magnetic Slide clasp (or preferred clasp style). Options will be given for different clasp types, along with creating a button and loop closure if preferred.

Students should also bring the following:

– Fireline or preferred thread

– Needles (at least a size 10 and 12)
