Burst of Beads Tote
comments (0) July 25th, 2008 in galleryThis tote is completely handmade. It was first quilted, the blue and burgundy glass beads were sewn on, then the tote was assembled. The clasp is hand beaded in a checkerboard pattern with blue, burgundy and mother of pearl colored glass beads. The roomy inside has a divider and a pocket on the inside front. The tote measures 15X11X2.
I'm entering this tote in the All That Glitters category. Why should I win? you asked. This tote is not only cute, it is very versatile--use it to dress up an outfit, or use it with jeans. With its hard bottom, it's sturdy enough to carry a couple of books or other supplies.
