I originally designed this peyote pattern for one of our challenges on OTTBS last year but I ran out of time and could only manage to work up one of the motifs! With a bit of ingenuity I turned it into a bracelet with lengths of waxed cotton cord, which you can see here on the blog. While the British flag is always popular, with the Queen’s Jubilee fast approaching I thought I would get my skates on and make myself the full version.
The pattern uses three colours (I’ve used funky turquoise here instead of the traditional blue) and because of the geometric design of the flag, I found that once you get going it’s quite intuitive as to where the next bead is going. Saying that I did make some mistakes due to not concentrating so I spent a fair amount of time unpicking and replacing my tattered thread! Even so, it only took me three evenings to make. If you want to fly the British flag and make one of these bracelets for yourself, you can find my Blighty pattern here in my Etsy shop. Don’t forget, all of my tutorials and patterns are permanently 3 for the price of 2 :)
This is fab Liz, and I really like the turquoise twist!:-D Now I’m wondering if I could figure out how to bead the Welsh flag and the Finnish flag, make them big enough to hang on the wall, and gift them to my parents…
Thanks Maria :) The Finnish flag would be a doddle to chart but I think the Welsh flag would be a tad more difficult!

Oh yes, I most definitely will ring that insurer for a consultation. Thank you Mr Jewels-Inquiries. Now where did I put the spouse and kids…
