I get my beads in cases from the nearest Walmart but they have some good cases on amazon!! plus some other sites sell custom bead packs like butterflies, specific letters, charms, etc !!

the main stitches are usually even peyote and odd peyote, along with latter. even peyote is just taking the first two rows on your bracelet pattern and making a singular bracelet. from then, you put it through the nearest bead to whichever way the beginning side of your cuff is and do one bead and then skip through and then another. another way is the odd method, where you take a string and fold it in half and put two, then one with both pieces of string, then two on the separate strings again. a latter stitch is when you put all the beads on the string and then pull the other piece of string through the beads, so both strings are through. and it creates kind of this latter looking stitch.

there are a lot of really cool kandi youtubers you can watch !! i suggest VickyMuffins (used to be Vicky'sKandiShoppe), Ginger Kand-e, LiyaKitten, Kandi Toybox beaded tutorials, and Justin Bennett. They have a lot of really good, informative, easy, and helpful tutorials !! hope this helped
