Drinking Straw Peyote Necklace tutorial

Bead and Button has a wonderful tutorial (pdf) on their site for peyote
stitching around those hard plastic curly drinking straws. I might just
give this one a try in my spare minutes.

I just finished one like on the cover of that BnB issue, with a Shannon Hill
bead as the focal. Now I need to find some beads to match to finish the
necklace. Will post pix when done.

It's very cool! I look forward to seeing yours, Linda!

I would like to try that but have been unable to find the drinking
straws.
Maybe they are another USA thing. Or just not around where I live.
I find it frustrating to see lovely designs in B+B then cannot do them
because the components are not available here in UK.

Shirley, I don't recognize those straws. (I don't use straws). I also
don't know that I'd trust plastic straws to last on something labour
intensive. I think it would be cool to make that using some scrap copper
tube that I have though. I think what I have was intended in some sort of
engine. Maybe you have some scrap tubing that would be a better material in
the first place.

I will ask DH if he has any in his workshop. He is into model
engineering.
I think you maybe right about it lasting better.
I will see what transpires.

Hi Tina,

We've got one of those straws around the house that my DD got somewhere.
They're much thicker and stronger than you'd think. Nothing like your
typical drinking straw.

That is really nice looking, Linda. Thanks for posting it!

Linda emailed me saying the same thing. Actually, my main reason for using
copper pipe is that I know where I have some in the garage, so it would be
the cheap and lazy way to go. I love the Margaret Zinzer bead necklace.
And it would be the easiest.
