Noahsmom Posted June 7, 2007 Here is my very green backpack I finally finished! It took me forever to find the little things (closures). I love to use things in different ways. The bag was crocheted with nylon cord, the straps and decorations were originally part of a bead curtain. I know it's not for everyone, but I'm very pleased with it and have had lots of compliments on it (well I took them as compliments anyway. ) What do you think? Now where did I put those white patent thigh high boots........... Images are clickable Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Solitaire Posted June 7, 2007 Oh my gosh!! I am loving this backpack! One question though, don't the straps hurt when the pack is full? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Noahsmom Posted June 7, 2007 Oh my gosh!! I am loving this backpack! One question though, don't the straps hurt when the pack is full? I was wondering that as well but the disks are flat and smooth (not bumpy like beads) so they lie flat against your arms and they don't hurt at all! I don't even notice them being any different than any other strap. I do have really long hair though (past my waist) and my hair has been tangled in them a little but it gets tangled in my earrings too so that's nothing new. Now I'm wondering what to do with the rest of them! I got a big box full of the bead panels at a garage sale for $1, I used less than one string.

Tampa Doll Posted June 7, 2007 That is one cool bag. Hey the straps look like the beads I use to have handing on my closet instead of a door. Boy am I showing my age. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Noahsmom Posted June 7, 2007 That is one cool bag. Hey the straps look like the beads I use to have handing on my closet instead of a door. Boy am I showing my age. It may be the same ones!! I got them at a garage sale and they said it was a bead curtain! The pattern for the backpack is HERE . It is called the Berry Bobbles Backpack. I made mine shorter and didn't use the closures or straps like the pattern and I used nylon cord rather than cotton yarn. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
