1. On 1 yd. (.9 m) of thread or Fireline, attach a stop bead, leaving a 6-in. (15 cm) tail.
2. Pick up 20 cylinder beads to match the color of your poinsettias, and work a total of 12 rows in flat even-count peyote stitch.
3. Roll the strip into a tube, and using the tail, zip up the first and last rows. End the tail.
4. With the working thread, sew through the hollow center of the tube, and pick up a 4 mm round accent bead and three 15/0s. Sew back through the 4 mm and the tube, pick up a 4 mm and three 15/0s, sew back through the 4 mm and the tube, and exit an end cylinder.
5. Sew through the beadwork to exit the third cylinder in any row of the tube. Sewing toward the other end of the tube, work four stitches in flat even-count peyote stitch to begin the toggle bar tab (PHOTO A).
6. Work two more rows of peyote to complete the tab, and zip up the end row of the tab to an end row of the poinsettia band (PHOTO B). Retrace the thread path of the join, and end the working thread.
