Peyote stitch

Tubular peyote is used to make pouches or to decorate objects such as bottles or fan handles.

The Cellini spiral is a variation on the Peyote stitch that uses beads of increasing size to create a textured surface.

It was originated by seed bead masters Virginia Blakelock and Carol Perenoud who developed the tubular variation and named it after Benvenuto Cellini, a 16th-century Italian sculptor known for his Rococo architectural columns.

Most notably, the tomb of King Tutankhamun contains many artifacts utilizing the stitch.

The Egyptians created broad collars with the stitch with molded tubular beads.
