Chunky Star Earring – Beading Pattern

Description

The Chunky Star Earring – Beading Pattern is a perfect project to learn how to do Peyote Stitch in the round.

This is a digital PDF pattern. Available to download as soon as your order is complete.

The design started off life as a workshop design, as many of our kits & patterns do! It’s a great way to thoroughly test out the designs too. Steph, who designed the kit, is a big fan of Peyote stitch. She loves the different shapes and structures you can create especially when incorporating playful patterns in a 3D design. When we were teaching the workshop we had several requests for a kit from people further afield, so we’re very happy to be launching it to a wider audience now, which I hope you are too!

This design is an ideal project for experienced and competent beginner beaders. Even if you’ve only made basic Peyote stitch items before. The instructions explain all the steps clearly and there are plenty of diagrams and photographs to support you. The pattern also includes a link to a page dedicated to additional resources which can help further.
