'Candy Canes' lantern design


I chose to make this design without adding the frames, but it is set up to allow space for them, so you will end up with framed candy cane images. I also chose to make a candy-striped hanging loop for this lantern - it seemed fitting for the design! If you wish to do the same, it's very simple...on each row of your Peyote tube, just add 1 red, 1 white, 1 red, 1 white and step up. Keep to the same bead order on every row, and you will create a natural spiral.

Bead List

19g size 11/0 Delicas in your main colour (I used DB200)

5g size 11/0 Delicas in your highlight colour (I used DB162)


For the side pattern...

1854 size 11 Delicas in DB141, transparent (that's just over 9g)

264 size 11 Delicas in DB1566, opaque avocado luster (that's just over 1g)

48 size 11 Delicas in DB605, silver-lined emerald (that's under 1g)

54 size 11 Delicas in DB724, opaque green (that's under 1g)

270 size 11 Delicas in DB162, opaque red AB (that's just over 1g)

210 size 11 Delicas in DB200, opaque white (that's just over 1g)


Optional...

If you want to add the hanging loop, you will need an additional 2g of Delicas in the colour of your choice

If you want to add the 'frames', you will need an additional 4g of Delicas in your main colour
