Have you ever wanted to be able to learn how to do some of the delicate beadwork that you see in our exhibits?
Now you can! The museum staff has created a kit that contains everything to make your very own beaded bracelet! Peyote stitch, sometimes called gourd stitch, is one of the most common “off-the-loom” stitches used. This means you don’t need any extra tools or equipment, such as a bead loom, to get started!
What will you find in our kits?
But perhaps the most important thing you will find is the enjoyment of learning a traditional craft that you can continue to create new, beautiful designs of your own with! Once you learn the basics of peyote stitch, the possibilities are endless!
Stop in and ask our museum staff about the kits and pick one out for you and a friend on your next visit!
