Oval Bangle Tutorial with Video class

Originally a project for the Facebook group Seed Beads & More this is now available to everyone.

While the bangle is worked in circular peyote the addition of Rulla beads cleverly placed the shape becomes oval. In te first section the base of the band is worked in peyote stitch and has additional surface rows which will be used in section two to create surface panels. Section three creates side panels worked in my own version of Pondo stitch using mini duos which I call Pon-Duo.

You can choose a narrow or wider bangle, the narrow being 1" and te wider being 1.5" and I have created full instructions for three sizes over 24 pages.

There is an accompanying video class to help you create this new shape and includes instructions on how to size a bangle.
