DIY wooden beaded bag

How to make a bag with beads?

This summer, wooden beaded handbags are the must-have accessory to perfect your look. Retro and bohemian, this new it-bag seduces with its casual yet elegant look. Wooden beaded handbags have their origins in the 70s, a time marked by a craze for natural materials and handicrafts. After a few decades of being out of fashion, they are back with a vengeance this season with a more contemporary approach and revamped designs.

Wooden beaded handbags are a perfect match for light and colorful summer outfits, such as long dresses, flowing skirts or loose pants. For those who prefer a more urban look, opt for a dark colored wooden beaded handbag. For a personalized and original bag, you can mix colored wood beads with natural wood beads.

Beaded handbags can also be paired with another great trend of recent years: The big link chain. We have dozens of colors and sizes of links available on our site. These links are either sold individually or as a chain. You can make your own bag handle to personalize it. In this tutorial, we have attached carabiners to the bag so that you can change the bag chain at will. Go from celadon green to fuchsia pink in less than 2 minutes. Create multi-colored bag handles by combining links.

Please note, we used 14 6mm beads to make the bag closure loop, but it is a bit loose. 12 beads should be more appropriate. Make sure the bead that closes the bag goes through the loop before you tie the wire.
