Well I've completed my Facet Jewelry Box projects. If you recall from my last post , I was asked to review a box and I gave you a coupon code if you order in November. I'll repeat the info below. Here are the projects I completed. This is the Embedded Peyote Bracelet. This was very easy to do, especially if you know peyote stitch. If you don't, its a great stitch to have in your repetoire and you can use the instructions to make this bracelet in a variety of colors! I think it would look great in southwest colors, myself!

Here is a photo of the box, the instruction sheet and the projects - they are nicely packaged individually and labeled so there's no hunting around for parts or beads! You also receive a spool of fireline that's large enough for both projects. The first project I received is the Embedded Pe...
