Picture rave cuffs are also called kandi cuffs. They are given out at raves as a token of friendship by kandi kids, who are frequenters of the rave scene. Picture rave cuffs are made with bright-colored pony beads. They consist of multiple strings of different-colored beads that are woven together in basic peyote flat stitch to create a picture. The pictures made with the beads can be anything from whimsical food to cartoon characters. You can create your own pattern, or find one for free on the Internet and use it to make your own picture rave cuff. legal party highs Related Searches: 11 Seed BeadsBeads in Bulk Difficulty: Moderate Instructions Things You'll Need Scissors Elastic thread 6-by-9-millimeter pony beads, assorted colors Rave picture cuff pattern 1 Cut the elastic thread length to twice as long as the distance between your outstretched hands.
