Hi there,

I do not know what you mean by "really really round peyote stitch" but here are two links to how-to-videos, one for Tubular Peyote Stitch, and one for Circular Peyote Stitch.

Tubular Peyote Stitch

Circular Peyote Stitch(with other additions)

Hope these help!

Cheers!

The pattern to which you refer too is not free but it is pretty good......

here's another freebie which shows you the difference between using delicas and czech beads but gives you the general idea

Barb Sanderson via Billie Sanchez of Wicked Oak Designs also has a free tut here

Whatever route you chose I'm sure we would all love to see the finished result so don't forget to post your pic and good luck.

Just want to say that I used the link that Barb Sanderson posted, and it worked great.  Now all I have to figure out in peyote stitching around a bottle is how to make the turn from the bottom to the sides.  But this tutorial taught me how to do the bottom.  :)
