After browsing the other day for dread accessories, I came across peyote sleeves with cool designs that I thought were really pretty. I remembered seeing the link for a how-to on this site and searched it, finding that it was actually fairly cheap and easy to make (assuming you are a moderately patient person).

Me being the crafty person that I am, I jumped at the chance to make my very own designs for these cool accessories and made a run to the nearest store to grab some supplies. Different color, super tiny seed beads, beading nylon string and beading needles.
Just to give anyone interested in this project heads-up, the nylon string I bought was too thick to feed through the tiny eye in the needle, so really look closely at them before buying. I actually ended up using a small sewing needle instead, which works, but can end up sticking you while you work.
Here is my first one:
It didn't turn out too awful, so as you can see, it's pretty easy to catch on.
And then last night I wanted to make something a little different and made this.
Anyways my point to this thread is that I was interested in seeing if anyone else makes their own dread accessories and to share their creations. There are so many fun ways to decorate your dreads, lets see what you can do!
