D. BEADED BAG MULTI-EMBELLISHMENTS

6 HOURS

Susan Clark of northern California has me hooked on making small beaded necklaces in
the shape of small rectangle bags with a long, elaborate beaded fringe. I now create my
own bags, but I still use Susan’s method of beading. I make a 3” x 3 1/2” pouch with a flap in
crazy patch and decorate it with embroidery and silk ribbon. Or I use wide tapestry ribbon
to create a pouch. Either way, I decorate them with an elaborate necklace and fringe.
You can’t stop at just one!
