Peyote Stitch

---

 
Description: Create a beaded clasp with an invisible magnetic connection for Kumihimo beaded braids, bead crochet, or bead-woven projects. Although at first glance this seems to be a simple peyote tube, cleverly hidden engineering techniques give the clasp a sturdy, seamless connection without the use of glue.
