Carrier Bead Craze!

I have officially jumped on the Carrier Bead Craze Train.  I have made lots of combos and I am scheduled to do a class at the Atlanta South Bead Club in September.

All you need for making the carrier beads are 3 - 5 colors of Miyuki Delicas or Toho Treasures in size 11/0.  The blank Carrier/Duo beads come in glass or acrylic.  You will need as many of those as you want to make into covered beads.  Necklaces take about 24 and bracelets 10-13.
You will need some sort of spacer beads.  I have used 8mm and 6mm rounds in my projects.  I have made all of mine into stretchy bracelets, so if you want a clasped bracelet or the necklace you will need also some softflex wire and a clasp.

I have created a PDF with 30 patterns to make the Odd Count Peyote Covers in 3 colors or 4 colors.  Those file are listed below the photos.
