Thank you so much for the Peyote pattern. It is something I really want to start learning how to do and create my own patterns. One thing I would say, is Ali I wish you would calm down sometimes. You're nervous energy and wanting to skim over details to get things done more quickly often times makes me anxious. I don't mean to be negative about you as a human being because I think you are a wonderful human being and great teacher.

Thank you for watching! At the bottom of your screen there is a gear icon. If you press that, an option called "Playback Speed" will appear. You can use that to slow down the speed of the video. Here is another fun Peyote bracelet video you may enjoy! www.potomacbeads.com/how-to/projects-tutorials/bracelet-projects/puffed-peyote-bracelet-beadweaving-tutorial.html

I love this necklace, however, I am struggling to figure out a way to keep my pendant from flipping. Has anyone experienced similar issues?

Hi Allie, would 26 ga 0.016 in wire work for this project just as well?

A 26 gauge is very thin but will work too. Here is a wonderful wire-working and gemstone necklace video you may enjoy! www.potomacbeads.com/how-to/projects-tutorials/stringing-knotting-projects/PPPC2012

Would 20 gauge wire be better?

@Potomacbeadco 6 ай бұрын

A 20 gauge would work however, you would probably have to do regular loops instead of wrapped loops. The 20 gauge is thicker, we'd love to see it done with regular loops. If you make it, please feel free to share on our Facebook group for beading and jewelry-making!

Why don't you tuck in your ends of wire after trimming them?? They'll catch on your clothes.

Yes, the cut ends do tend to snag clothing or even scratch skin if they are not tucked into the project. It is not shown in the video but she did tuck them in off camera. Thank you for watching!
