Art Deco Bracelet Design

To turn this into a bracelet, keep repeating the pattern until you have a length that will fit

around your wrist, allowing room for a clasp. You will be working in even count Peyote. I

have assumed you already know the basic technique, but if that is not the case, you can use

this free tutorial to learn: https://www.myworldofbeads.com/learn-even-count-peyote/

Add your chosen clasp and enjoy wearing!

This will look best, and most even, if you use cylinder beads. (So, you can use size 11/0

Miyuki Delicas, or size 11/0 TOHO AIKOs). However, it will also work perfectly well with

ordinary seed beads. Just try to use good quality beads that are evenly sized.

I invite you to choose your own colouring. Although, I have given you some colour options at

the end of the project.

Materials per pattern repeat

Chart #:A – 288 beads

Chart #:B – 32 beads

Chart #:C – 88 beads

Chart #:D – 200 beads

Chart #:E – 176 beads

Made with 11/0 delicas, a single pattern repeat measures about 1 7/8” (4.5cm). If you are

using size 11 seed beads, then the measurements are 2 3/8” (6cm). So, you will need to work

out the number of pattern repeats you require, and multiply that by the bead quantity in each

colour. If you need to know how many beads per gram of your chosen bead/brand, check out

this blog post: https://www.myworldofbeads.com/how-many-beads-in-a-gram/

Remember, when you come to repeat the pattern, you will be beading rows 1 and 2 separately

(not as the single strip that starts). So, each row will contain 14 A beads.

you may prefer to start bottom left and work up. The (L) and (R) indicate the direction

Clasp options

There are plenty of ways in which you can add a clasp to this type of bracelet. You also have

plenty of clasps from which to choose.

I used two variations. For one, I used a slide clasp, which I attached by creating a ‘seam’ with

my beads. To do this, you will need to make the main bracelet about ½” 1.5cm shorter than

you require to fit around the wrist. That will leave space for the clasp.

I used a 7-loop (41mm) slide clasp. Note: the bracelet in the photos is another design, but the

technique remains the same.

Step 1: I attached the clasp and created a little beaded casing to hide the attachment. So,

start on one end and bead 6 more rows of Peyote, using your (B) beads. Anchor the loops on

the clasp to the back side of the bracelet. Try to

make sure the edge of the bracelet is butted up to

the slide part of the clasp.

Step 2: You then need to make the beaded casing.

So, weave through to exit from the edge of the final

row of your original bracelet. Stitch a new row of

beads, attaching this to the first row you added in

step 1 (the first row of (B) beads). You can see this

part in the photo.

Step 3: Continue to add four more rows of Peyote

to your new row, so you create a little ‘flap’. Fold

the flap over and attach the ends of these rows to

the ends of the rows in your original bracelet. You

can also attach the final row of your bracelet to the

final row of your flap, by weaving through the clasp

and ‘zipping’ from one row to the other. Note: the

beads will not zip together properly because the

clasp will be in the way. However, this should

create a neat finish encasing the loops, as shown.

Step 4: Repeat steps 1-3 to attach the other half of the clasp to the other end of the bracelet.

Note: I find it easiest to close the clasp to do this – this will ensure that you get the correct

clasp placement.

Clasp Option 2

For the other option, I covered two 10mm wooden beads, attached these to one end of the

bracelet, like buttons. Then added loops to the other end of the bracelet to hook over my

beaded beads.

You can make your basic bracelet to fit your wrist exactly, then place the beaded beads and

the loops a few rows in from the end of the bracelet, so that they will fasten and allow your

bracelet to fit precisely.

You will need to calculate where to place these, and how many beads in your loops, to ensure

a good fit. So, be prepared for a little trial and error!

This is the technique I used for making my beaded beads.

You are going to use your (B) beads and work in Peyote stitch to make a covering for your

10mm wooden bead. You will be working in circular Peyote. Your covering is made in two

halves, and joined around the wooden bead.

Row 1: Pick up 5(B) and pass through them all

again to form a circle. You should leave a tail

thread that is just long enough to stitch in at the

end. I recommend you knot your working and tail

threads to hold the circle secure.

Row 2: Add 1(B) between each of the beads in

your circle and step up at the end of the row (total

5(B) beads).


your previous row and step up. (total 10(B) beads).


7


your previous row and step up at the end. (total

10(B) beads). Yellow beads in diagram.

Row 5: Repeat row 4. Green beads in diagram.

Row 6: In this row, you are going to add 1(B) in the

first stitch, 2(B) in the second stitch. Then repeat

that sequence four more times to complete the

row. Step up at the end of the row. (total 15(B)

beads).

Row 7: In this row, you are going to add 1(B) in

every stitch. So, each time you reach a pair of

beads you will pass through BOTH beads.

Remember the step up at the end of the row. (total

10(B) beads).

Row 8: You are going to repeat the technique from

row 6. So, you will add 2(B) in the first stitch, 1(B)

in the second stitch, and repeat this sequence four

more times to complete the row. This time, step up

through BOTH the first 2(B). (total 15(B) beads).

Your pairs of beads in this row should sit on top of

the pairs of beads from row 6.


8

Row 9: Repeat row 7. So, you will add 1(B) in

every stitch, passing through BOTH beads

whenever you reach a pair from your previous row.

This completes the first half of your cover, so finish

your thread securely.

The Second Half: Repeat rows 1-8 from the first

half. Now, place your wooden bead in the middle

of the two halves, and zip them together. You will

need to line them up so that the pairs of beads on

the two halves are in alignment.

You can then stitch your beaded bead onto your bracelet. I picked up a couple of seed beads

to sit between the wooden bead and the bracelet, to give the ‘button’ a ‘shank’ that will keep

the loop in place when the bracelet is fastened.
