You asked us for a video explaining how to insert Crystal Mesh into a Peyote weave. Your wish has been granted! We hope this tutorial will give you a better understanding of how to insert crystal mesh into a Miyuki delicas 11/0 weave. This technique was previously used by Sev Rin in her tutorial Peyote weaving bracelet with Miyuki delicas 11/0 beads and Crystal Mesh PureCrystal Strass. We invite you to take a look - her bracelet is gorgeous! What's more, each 5 cm portion of Crystal Mesh sold includes 34 stones. You'll need 8-9 bezels for this tutorial and 20 bezels for Sev Rin's bracelet. So you can make both bracelets with a single piece of Swarovski or PureCrystal Crystal Mesh! What's more, you can also re-use leftover Miyuki delicas 11/0. As for the wire, either will do.
Crystal Mesh are mini crystal cabochons already set in a crimp and linked together. Normally they are used in one piece, but weavers love to separate them by cutting the little ring that connects them and use each little cabochon in their bead weaving. The famous beadmaker Puca often uses them in her creations in the same way. Crystal Mesh comes in many colors and sizes, but please note that this tutorial is only valid for those that are individually 2.7 mm.
The end caps used at the end of the weaving process are exclusive to Perles and Co. They were invented in-house and are specially designed for Peyote and Brick Stitch weaving with Miyuki delicas 11/0. You'll find them for 7-row, 13-row and 21-row weaves in a variety of designs and finishes. If ever these tips aren't to your liking, you can replace them with classic tube weaving tips. Take 10 mm, finish your weave straight and not in herringbone, then use the following technique to slide your beads in. Adapt the Peyote weave to a weaving tip. Without this technique, it won't work.
