Reviving Fashion: Transforming an Old Bag with Glass Seed Beads




As a passionate crafter working with glass seed beads, I find immense joy in breathing new life into old items. Recently, I had the pleasure of remaking an old bag using tiny glass seed beads, leather, cotton cord, and silk thread, incorporating embroidery and embellishments to create a stunning transformation. Join me on this creative journey as I share the process of reviving fashion through the art of beadwork.

The old bag that served as the canvas for this project held sentimental value but had lost its luster over the years. To begin the transformation, I carefully assessed the bag's structure and material, envisioning how the addition of glass seed beads could elevate its aesthetic appeal.
Materials:

    First, I meticulously selected a color palette of glass seed beads that would complement the bag's existing tones. The delicate nature of these beads allowed me to create intricate patterns and designs, adding a touch of elegance to the bag's surface. Using a fine needle and Nylon beading thread, I embarked on the meticulous task of hand-embroidering the glass seed beads onto the bag, layer by layer, to ensure a seamless and captivating finish.

    Glass seed beads colors and sizes I used for this bag:

        Toho Glass Seed Beads #11
          Miyuki Glass Seed Beads #15

            Incorporating leather and cotton cord, I introduced tactile elements that enhanced the bag's texture and durability. The black leather accents provided a striking contrast to the glass seed beads, while the cotton cord added a rustic charm, harmonizing with the overall design.

            I created a handmade natural silk tassel, wrapped it with natural leather and embellished it with tiny glass seed beads. The beaded round dangle bead adds to a bag a fun feel.

            Step 12: Next pick up the 4mm jump-ring, open it, slide on it the 7.5x5mm oval jump-ring (photo a-18). Then slide the 4mm jump-ring through the micro bead and close the 4mm jump-ring (photo a-19,20).

            Suggestion: Instead of the 3mm Smoky Quartz bead you can add any other gemstone bead like amethyst or cranberry color 3mm zircon bead. Play with the pendant and add to the golden chain other pendants like the smoky quartz, gold-finished sterling silver, 9x8mm-11x8mm hand-cut faceted cone drop.

Next work with 11o As and at the corner adding two 11oA beads per stitch (photo c-4). Step up.

Weave the thread down through the one 11o A and 11o Bs (photo c-4) weave the thread up through the beads and exit 11o A bead from previous step (I suggest not to weave the thread through the upper 11o As, because you won't be able to pass the thread through these beads in future) and work three 11o As, sew down through the two corner and one more 11o A bead. Next work with 11o As and at the lower corner adding two 11oA beads per stitch (photo c-4). Step up through the first bead added at this round.

Next work two stitches with 11o As, sew the needle down through the four beads, work ten stiches with 11o As, work two 11oAs at the corner and finish with ten stitches of 11oAs (photo c-5). Step up.

            Many
            sea glass collectors simply choose to keep their treasures in jars, while others enjoy giving pieces to friends or relatives.

            Making Jewelry From Sea Glass, Tutorial by Ezartesa.

            What I love about the sea glass? There is no two identical pieces of sea glass. Every shape is unique and exiting! When I look for the quality pieces of sea glass for me is very important smoothness, absence of chips, shape and size. If I find a piece that’s still has a sharp edges or is not opaque, I just let it stay on the beach for more rolling.

            When I designing a piece of jewelry, I always start with the color combinations, shape and size of the sea glass. Then I decide what seed bead color palette will be, or what patter I need to create to enhance the beauty of sea glass.

            I like using a natural leather for my jewelry base. Usually wider and longer leather strip is cut for the centerpiece, and two or four smaller pieces arranged around it.

            Seed bead TUTORIAL: My favorite sea glass jewelry designs have incorporated handmade tassels, which are not difficult to make.
            Step 1: Cut a winding board from heavy card stock, or cardboard; for the big tassel 6cm cardboard, for two small 4,5cm.
            tassel-1
            Step 2: Wind thread around board in loops until you reach desired fullness (as you work, you can change thread colors)
            Step 3: Tie 5-inch thread into a tight knot around top of looped thread.

            Step 4: Cut through looped ends (take it off board), and adjust it into tassel shape
            Step 5: Cut a 12-inch length of thread to wrap tassel neck: Fashion 1 end of thread into a loop shape, then lay loop on tassel. Grasp the other end, and wrap it tightly around tassel and over the top of the loop to secure it. Wrap slowly, working from the top of the neck down, so neck threads lie evenly next to one another. As you wrap, ensure all the threads in the head and skirt are neatly in place. After wrapping neck, pass end of thread through loop and gently close loop, tucking ends into the head of the tassel. Trim tassel ends, a few threads at a time, to even them if necessary. On top of the tassel, cut the thread tales of too.

            Step 6: Wash the tassels with shampoo, brush and dry.

            I like to use natural feathers for my sea glass necklaces. I usually glue the feather to the middle of leather strip, and fold the other end of leather on top of feather. Then I work in flat, odd-count peyote stitch to make a strip form glass seed beads to put it on top of leather.
