Good morning everyone,
With joy in my heart, I share with you my most beautiful design so far. I can't stop looking at the beauty of these bags and I can't believe I made them. The bag is a simple but a bit technical to make and since I'm learning on my own, I'm so proud of my progress so far. This white bag is my second trial with this particular design. The first one I made is the blue bag which turned out well but I made a tiny mistake with it. At the top in the rows of 5, I added 6 bead at a particular part up and it makes the upper part saggy🥺 but you can't really notice unless I show you. One thing about this bag is, your mind need to be at it all the time. So you don't add excess bead or less of a bead. There are rows of 6, rows of 5 and 6 with rows of 4s. If you make mistake and these numbers aren't complete, it will have effect on the bag.
Below, I will be putting us through the process of me making this bag.
MATERIALS USED
- A pack of crystal beads
- O.7mm fishing line
- Round ring handle
- Scissors
PROCESS
Step 1
The first thing I did was to make 20 palm rolls of fishing line and cut it. Next I enter 6 beads into the fishing line and cross it with the last. Repeating that, I made the first round rows of 6 beads each.
After that, I made rows of 5s and 6s alternatively then rows of 4s on top of it.
Step 2
Here I made rows of 5s on top of it till it goes round.
Step 3
Finally, I made rows of 6s and rows of 4s on top of it, thereby completing the circle. Next I started making the sides by making 4beads rows round the bag till the side is complete.
Step 4
Once the sides are complete, I started joining it with the other rounded upper part. I didn't take this part picture on the white bag but I did on the blue bag.
Step 5
Once the full bag becomes ready, I beaded the handle to it and Voila, our bag is complete.
Step 6
I sew a small inner pouch and put it inside the bag as seen below.
