Description
I love skeleton key pendants and usually just hang them from chain for a simple, vintage inspired necklace. Karla actually gave me the idea to do a peyote tube stitch around the length of the key. I absolutely love it! The best part? You can use any color
size 8/0 Miyuki seed bead
to complete this design!
Shanna Steele, Aunties Beads Designer
Instructions:
This project is on the intermediate to advanced level and requires knowledge of odd count peyote and peyote tube beads. If you are not familiar with these techniques, please watch the following videos:
Odd Count Peyote Stitch Video
Peyote Stitch Tube Beads Video
Thread your needle. Put a stop bead toward one end, leaving yourself a 6 to 8 inch tail.
String 13 seed beads. Work the odd count peyote stitch until you have 7 full rows.
Design Tip: You will know you have the correct number of rows when you have 7 beads across the top edge and 7 beads across the bottom edge. The beads on the sides should be running in alternating patterns so they will fit together like puzzle pieces when you zip them up.
Wrap the peyote stitched patch around the shaft of the key. Zip it up. Your threads (the tail and the end with the needle) should meet up. Tie a knot.
Run your thread through several nearby beads tying half hitch knots as you work. Cut excess thread. Remove your needle.
Remove the stop bead. Put the needle on the tail. Run the tail through a few nearby seed beads tying half hitch knots as you work. Cut excess thread. Remove your needle.
Cut about a foot of thread. Thread your needle.
Pick up 10 seed beads. Center the seed beads on your thread. Run the needle through the loop on the key. Circle your thread around so your threads meet. Tie a knot. Make sure you pull snugly on your threads so the circle of seed beads is tight.
Run your needle through 2 nearby seed beads. Tie a half hitch knot. Repeat this process until your thread is back where it started. Run your needle through a couple of nearby seed beads. Cut excess thread. Remove the needle.
Thread your needle on the other piece of thread. Run your needle through nearby seed beads tying half hitch knots as you work. Do this until you feel your seed bead bail is secure. Cut excess wire. Remove the needle.
Cut a piece of chain measuring about 1 inch less than the desired length. I would recommend making this necklace long so I cut my chain to about 20".
Run the chain through the seed bead bail.
Attach a jump ring to one end of the chain and then to half of the toggle. Close the jump ring. Repeat this step at the other end to complete the necklace.
