Beaded bags are an exciting
fashion trend that’s just clamoring for artistic expression.
We know you’re tired of the same old rectangular amulet bag,
so this collection includes innovative clutches, drawstring purses,
wrist bags, a market bag, and even an adorable tooth fairy bag.
The range of techniques is a delight as well—embroidery, on-
and off-loom weaving, bead crochet, and bead knitting. Whether you’re
beading a bag for yourself or as a gift, you’ll find beautiful
photography, clear illustrations, and more than enough projects
to inspire you for years to come. The 30 bags featured in Beadwork®
Creates Beaded Bags will appeal to beginners as well as advanced
beadworkers. This is the fourth book in the successful Beadwork ® Creates series.
