Learn how to create an intricate amulet bag using right-angle weave (RAW) techniques, incorporating multiple rows and unique design elements. Use 11/0 seed beads, bugle beads, daggers, Dragon Thread, and a needle for this customizable project. Master RAW to construct rows, connect columns, add decorative fringe, and create a functional bag with a fold-over flap. Customize the bag with different bead patterns, fringe designs, and additional embellishments for a personalized touch.
Gather Materials:
11/0 seed beads. Bugle beads. Daggers (for fringe). Dragon Thread (6-8 feet). Size 10 or 11 beading needle.
Start the Base:
Thread four 11/0 seed beads and form the first right-angle weave (RAW) unit. Repeat to create nine RAW units for the first row.
Build the Rows:
Use the top beads of the previous row as the base for the next row. Add rows using RAW technique until the desired bag height is achieved.
Incorporate Bugle Beads:
Add bugle beads on the sides of the RAW units for structure. Alternate bugles and seed beads for a decorative effect.
Taper the Top:
Begin reducing the number of RAW units in each row to create a flap. Start with nine units, then taper to seven, five, three, and one.
Seam the Sides:
Fold the bag into shape and connect the side rows using additional RAW units. Ensure the seams are secure by threading through multiple times.
Add Fringe:
Attach daggers and seed beads to the bottom edge for decorative fringe. Alternate bead colors or patterns for a cascading effect.
Create the Strap:
String beads and bugles in your desired pattern to form a strap. Securely attach the strap to both sides of the bag.
Finalize the Design:
Reinforce all connections, tighten threads, and trim any excess. Add any final embellishments to the flap or edges.
