Heather poured her heart and soul into this peyote-stitched amulet bag
as a way to help her cope with an illness that necessitated a hysterec-
Healing
tomy. On one side of the bag is a woman with her arms outstretched to
Talisman
the universe, asking and receiving healing. On the other side are Native
American symbols that Heather hoped would serve as a bridge to the
Bag
divine. Within the bag are mementos of family and friends, constant
reminders of the loved ones who helped her through her troubled times.

One-drop peyote stitch
begins by stringing an even number of beads to cre-
ate the first two rows. Begin the third row by stringing one bead and passing
through the second-to-last bead of the previous rows. String another bead
and pass through the fourth-to-last bead of the previous rows. Continue
adding one bead at a time, passing over every other bead of the previous rows.

Step 1:
Follow the chart to work two panels of peyote stitch.
Do not trim your working threads.
Step 2:
Stitch the panels together by zigzagging back and forth
between the beads along each side and the bottom. Leave
a working thread at the top, but finish your other threads
by weaving through the work, crossing back on them at
least three times. Trim close to the work.
Step 3:
Collect your mementos—things like rings, gemstones,
and keys that remind you of special people or times in
your life.
Step 4:
Stitch the top closed to seal in your mementos.
Step 5:
Using 2' of thread, make a daisy-chain strap. *String
1 seed bead, 1 bugle bead, and 7 seed beads (1 green
bead and 6 petals). Pass through the second of the 7
seed beads leaving a 6" tail. String 1 seed bead to make
the center of the flower and pass back through the fourth
petal (Figure 1). Repeat from * for the length of the strap
(this one is 24"), then weave the tails into the bag to
secure them.

Note from the Designer
I encourage you to design your own pattern for this
bag. Along with the mementos, the pattern can be
special to you, too. The bag is 31 by 31 beads, a
good size to start with if you wish to design your
own pattern. But if you don’t wish to do that, at least
try using different colors, ones that reflect the bag’s
meaning to you.
