Try making several different versions of this simple connector bead bracelet. The threading holes in the carrier beads are large enough to fit cords measuring as large as 2mm thick, meaning you can thread them onto leather, cotton, silk, hemp or any other cord you can fit through. Why not try making a macrame bracelet with a carrier placed sideways at the centre?

These cute, sparkly earrings are so simple to make once you've mastered your even count peyote patterns. Make a metallic wrap for your carrier bead and create a droplet earring using seed beads, crystal bicones and a pretty drop charm at the base. You get 10 carrier beads in each pack and hundreds of Miyuki Delica beads, which means you can experiment and decorate your beads to make matching jewellery sets and unique multi carrier designs.

& CARRIER KITS

Miyuki Delica beads are a great choice for covering your carriers, as they give any peyote pattern a smooth and even finish. If you don't have any Delica beads to hand right now, you can practice making your even count peyote stitch with any seed beads (or larger beads if its your first go) and get the hang of the technique while your carriers are in the post! Choose from matte, opaque, shiny and colour lined size 11 Miyuki Delica beads in our online range.
