This volume brings together some of the best of Julia Pretl's bead collections. In this compilation of the author's previous three books, Beaded Collars, Bead Knitted Bags, and Little Bead Boxes, you'll learn Julia’s original methods for beading miniature vessels, knit purses, and classic neck pieces. Julia also offers instruction for creating four-, five-, and six-sided rectangular, square, and stacked miniature boxes; vintage-style bead-knitted handbags; and intricate neckpieces, inspired by the dramatic jewelry worn by the ancient Egyptians. Each of the innovative projects contains a materials list and instructions presented both in written and charted form. With detailed instruction and sequenced illustrations, the author provides clear, step-by-step guidance. The enclosed DVD offers a series of video tutorials in bead knitting, with all the techniques needed for the projects included (for both left- and right-handed knitters!), and full-size printable PDFs of graphs.

Learn how to make your own vintage-style beaded bags, purses and other beaded accessories. When these designs were originally created, beaded bags were all the rage. It was the Flapper era... The Roaring Twenties. No Thoroughly Modern Girl would have dreamed of going out on the town without bringing along a shimmering beaded bag to hold her personal items. Her outfit just wouldn't be complete without it. Even now... in the 21st Century... A beaded bag makes the perfect accessory when today's Thoroughly Modern Woman goes out for an evening's entertainment. If you've ever tried to locate original beaded items from the 1920s & '30s, you know just how hard it can be to find bags and purses that are still intact... Let alone ones that are still durable enough to be used. And when you do find one in good shape, the asking price is usually SKY HIGH! But what if you could make your own? And what if your newly-made beaded creations could look EXACTLY LIKE THE ORIGINALS? On these pages you'll find a collection of original patterns from the 1920s for making beaded bags, purses and other beaded accessories. This book includes complete step-by-step instructions for more than 35 different beaded projects... beaded purses, pouches, belts and more... utilizing techniques such as beaded knitting, beaded crocheting and loom beading. Each project is illustrated in full-color so you can see exactly what your finished product will look like. And each set of instructions includes a complete list of all the tools and materials you'll need for its creation.
