    Quick Project Steps

    This beautiful Gemini Beaded Toggle can be used on a number of projects. It’s always fun to learn new skills with PotomacBeads tutorials.
    1. Put on 40 15/0 seed beads, using the first one as a stop bead. Put the beads into a loop and go through the stop bead. Pick up another 15/0, skip over the next bead in the loop and go down the third one in line. This begins your Peyote stitch. Continue around the whole loop.
    2. Watch the Gemini Beaded Toggle tutorial to follow along as Anna shows you step-by-step how to create the toggle and multistrand bracelet.
    3. Reinforce the clasps. Tie the thread ends and burn off any loose ends throughout the project.
    The Gemini Beaded Toggle & Bracelet is an excellent project to practice your Peyote stitch on. Get creative with your choice of colors to make this a one of a kind piece of jewelry to add to your collection.
