I was wondering if anyone has instructions on how to make seed bead tubes for bracelets? Thanks!

Peyote stitch makes good tubes. Work the stitch around the tube not along or you will have uneven ends.. Kerry

If you go to http://www.about.com then click on hobbies, then beadwork, you can search for beadwork projects by type. I think there are instructions for making a bracelet with peyote tubes - look for bitty bead bracelet. There are lots and lots of tutorials for various stitches.
If you need any help finding it, PM me and I'll see what I can do to help. I do lots of seed bead weaving.

You can also crochet the tube around 12 G wire and then it's bendable as well. For me, the crochet goes faster (if someone gets it started for me!) but I guess if you knew the bead weaving stuff that would probably go fast, too.
