She Wants A Beaded Basket Bag With Bigger Base

IMG_20250311_103302_280.jpg

Getting a new client for my crafts is sweet, but getting a returning client for what I do is another level of sweetness. It not only tells that they value what they are getting, but it also shows that they want more. This is why, when I create, I pour all my heart and thoughts into it.

Hello, guys, welcome πŸ€—. It's lovely to have you with me today while I share with you the tutorial of a new basket-beaded bag I made for a returning client of mine. She asked that I make the bag for her sister, and she wanted the base of the bag to be a bit wider compared to the one I made here. Kindly follow me and see how I make that happen.

Production time: 6-7 hours

Materials used:
I used size 14 pearl beads, size 8 pearl beads, scissors, and size 0.7 fishline.IMG_20250308_022422_766.jpg
Step-by-step process:
Making this basket bag is simple and involves straightforward steps. Even a beginner can do it. So come with me, and let me walk you through the process.
Step 1:
I put six size 14 beads on a 120 cm fishline and then crossed both fishlines with the sixth bead.IMG_20250307_035547_262.jpg
Step 2:
I put one size 14 bead through the two fish lines at once and inserted it into the middle of the previous six beads, then let my fish line come out on one of the six beads.InShot_20250308_163022882.jpg
Step 3:
Here, I added one size 8, one size 14, one size 8, one size 14, and crossed both fish lines with one size 8 bead.InShot_20250308_163203179.jpg
Step 4:
I passed my right fishline through the next size 14 beads, and I added one size 8, one size 14, one size 8, and one size 14, and crossed both fishlines with one size 8 bead.InShot_20250308_163238071.jpg
Step 5:
I passed my right fishline through the next size 14 beads, and I added one size 14, one size 8, and one size 14, and crossed both fishlines with one size 8 bead.InShot_20250308_163311575.jpg
Step 6:
I passed my left fishline through the next size 14 beads, and I added one size 8, one size 14, one size 8, and one size 14, and crossed both fishlines with one size 8 bead.InShot_20250308_163346904.jpg
Step 7:
I passed my right fishline through the next size 14 beads, and I added one size 14, one size 8, and one size 14, and crossed both fishlines with one size 8 bead. To complete this line, I let my right fishline through the next size 14 and size 8 bead and then put size 14 and size 8 on my left fishline and crossed both fishlines with the size 14 bead.InShot_20250308_164002669.jpg
Step 8:
Here I started a new line to expand the base of the bag. I passed my right fishline through the next size 4 bead, put one size 8 and two size 14, and crossed both fishlines with one size 8 bead.InShot_20250308_182336747.jpg
Step 9:
I passed my right fishline through the next size 8 bead, put one size 14 on the left fishline, and crossed both fishlines with one size 8 bead.InShot_20250308_182403477.jpg
Step 10:
I let my right fishline through the next two size 14 beads, put two size 14 beads on the left fishline, and crossed both fishlines with one size 8 bead.InShot_20250308_182429501.jpg
Step 11:
I passed my right fishline through the next size 8 bead, put one size 14 on the left fishline, and crossed both fishlines with one size 8 bead.IMG_20250307_043747_390.jpg

Step 12:
I let my right fishline through the next two size 14 beads, put two size 14 beads on the left fishline, and crossed both fishlines with one size 8 bead.InShot_20250310_074357155.jpg

Step 13:
I passed my right fishline through the next size 8 bead, put one size 14 on the left fishline, and crossed both fishlines with one size 8 bead.InShot_20250310_085002372.jpg

Step 14:
I let my right fishline through the next two size 14 beads, put two size 14 beads on the left fishline, and crossed both fishlines with one size 8 bead.InShot_20250310_085305497.jpg

Step 15:
I passed my right fishline through the next size 8 bead, put one size 14 on the left fishline, and crossed both fishlines with one size 8 bead.InShot_20250310_085355775.jpg

Step 16:
I let my right fishline through the next two size 14 beads, put two size 14 beads on the left fishline, and crossed both fishlines with one size 8 bead.InShot_20250310_085433026.jpg

Step 17:
I passed my right fishline through the next size 8 bead, put one size 14 on the left fishline, and crossed both fishlines with one size 8 bead. I proceeded to let my right fishline through the next two size 14 beads, put two size 14 beads on the left fishline, and crossed both fishlines with one size 8 bead.InShot_20250310_085638293.jpg

Step 18:
To complete the base of the bag, I let my right fishline through the next two size 8 beads, then crossed both fishlines with size 14 beads. And now I have completed the base of the bag.InShot_20250310_085717954.jpg

Step 19:
I simply start to build the body of the bag by letting my right fishline come out of the next size 14 bead, putting in a size 8, two size 14 beads, and crossing both fishlines with one size 8 bead.InShot_20250310_085800761.jpg

Step 20:
I let my right fish line through the next two sizes, 14 beads. Put 2 size 14 beads on the left fishline across both fishlines with one size 8 bead.InShot_20250310_085835632.jpg

Step 21:
I continue to step 20 above until I reach one step to complete this cycle, and to end the cycle, I let my fishline through the next two sizes, 14 beads and one size 8 bead, and then cross both fishlines with two sizes, 1 bead.InShot_20250310_085940643.jpg

Step 22:
I continued to repeat steps 20 and 21 above until I made ten cycles on top of the base of the bag, and that gave me the desired size of the bag.InShot_20250310_090203666.jpgI just went ahead and attached the handle, and our bag is ready. 😍
