Instructions
Bezel Instructions
Step 1
Add a #11 beading needle to a 60-inch length of Fireline thread.
Step 2
Leaving a small tail, pick up 36 #11 Delicas. Pass through the beads again and pull tight to create a circle. Leave an 8” tail. Tie a small knot to secure it.
Tip: For an accurate number of beads for your first row, push the Rivoli into a small, level piece of clay leaving the outer edge at the clay surface. Before tying your knot, set the circle around the Rivoli. It should be very slightly larger than the circumference of the Rivoli. You must use an even number of beads. Add two or subtract two as needed to fit around your Rivoli or other focal.
Step 3
Using the tubular peyote stitch technique, add the following:
- Two rows of #11 Delicas
- One row of #15 Delicas
- One row of spaced #15 Delicas
Tip: For more information, view our ''How to make a Tubular Peyote Stitch'' how-to video and illustrated instructions.
Step 4
Pass through various beads, back and forth, to exit out the first row of seed beads.
Step 5
Using the tubular peyote stitch technique, add two rows of #11 Delicas.
Step 6
Insert the Rivoli into the bezel.
Step 7
Add the following:
- One row of #15 Delicas
- 1 spaced row of #15 Delicas, then tighten.
Bail Instructions
Step 8
Pass through various beads, back and forth, to exit out the original row on the side of the bezel.
Step 9
Using the peyote stitch technique, add three #11 Delicas. Repeat to create a beaded band long enough to accommodate your chain or cord.
Tip: For more information, view our ''How to Create an Even and Odd Count Peyote Stitch'' how-to video and illustrated instructions.
Step 10
Stitch the last row of the beaded back to the sixth row, creating a looped band.
Step 11
Pass through the beads to exit out the top edge of the loop and trim the tail.
Step 12
Thread the remaining tail with the beading needle and pass through various beads, back and forth, then trim the tail.
