beaded backpack and purse

[rsisland]

I found this packpack pattern on Lionbrand a couple of years ago. After being here for awhile I tried it. Used leftover ponybeads and RH.

 

 

This purse I found at http://www.followingbliss.homestead.com/Bagpattern.html and thought they would go good together.

 

 

 

I made these for my neighbor's upcoming 12th birthday. Everybody here is so inspirational. These were my first bead projects. I love beads and they were so easy to make. Each took less than 2 hours a piece.

Thank you so much for the pattern link.

I love making purses and I am always looking for new patterns.

Now I am inspired to try one with beads.

Hey they look fantastic. I have not tried beading yet, but this afternoon I have made up the insert for a hook case, and if it works out well, the next one I am going to try beading on the outside

 

Well done
