1924 Fleur-De-Lis Beaded Crochet Bag Tutorial | Just Vintage Crochet

[@RealMelodyBlue]

When beading using very fine thread, it's very important to have a bar of beeswax, it will solve the problem you had with the foundation chain. Got real into bead crochet and that's what the book I used suggested to do. So, if you do this type of crochet, keep this in mind, it was a lifesaver for me.

[@TheKatherine1958]

Oh I’m getting old! I cannot remember what I needed beeswax for in my embroidery (it’s only been 2 years 🙄!) but I had to purchase some to finish a butterfly I’d made. My point- beeswax is useful in embroidery as well. Just don’t ask me where! Lol

[@doninis1354]

What is the beeswax doing? Do you wax the threat, to stop it from twisting?

[@RealMelodyBlue]

@@doninis1354 it also makes the thread glide smoothly as you're working. I still have a stick of it.

[@jodiebristow3210]

​@doninis1354 The wax serves a couple of different purposes. It helps to add weight to the thread, which will help with the twisting. It helps with the gliding of the beads, but most importantly, it strengthens the thread. Which will keep the thread from fraying and add to the longevity of the product made. I learned this when making beaded jewelry.

[@JD-ht4wn]

Good tip! I would use chapstick for the ends of my embroidery thread when cross sitching.

[@maryanncsech6964]

I am the proud owner of my grandmother's black crocheted and beaded bag. My grandmother was born in 1899 and it was made by her mother, my great grandmother. It has an oval cardboard box bottom covered by black silk crochet with multicolored wooden beads every few rows and has a thin silver crocheted edging on top. It is closed by black laces edged in decorated silver tips that are threaded through holes in the last black crocheted row. All of it done in single crochet. I treasure it dearly.

[@brittanyk3923]

A tip I picked up from the tatting community is to put a dot of Elmer’s glue on your finger and pinch the end of your thread through it, making sure you’re rolling/twisting it straight. Let it dry for a minute, snip off the very end at an angle, and you have a stiff, sharp end to thread beads directly onto.

[@LilaCreates]

Clever!!

[@melodied4314]

This is something I would never attempt, but it was fun watching someone with nerves of steel, nimble fingers, and good eyesight crochet this gorgeous purse.❤

[@theartsypixie2771]

Yeah I bead a lot. I make eye glass rope holders like librarians wear, and just had to get progressive bifocals. 🫤

[@snospmoht3252]

Holy cow. 🐮 I'm not even halfway thru watching and I'm so totally impressed...and cross-eyed...lol.

[@blktauna]

Miyuki 11/0 beads will give you the right look. I love how beaded crochet looks but had no idea how it was done. Thank you for enlightening me.

[@donnasqueaky2]

I got tons of delicas.

[@suzannejones9294]

Delica would give the cut steel look and stack better

[@donnasqueaky2]

@@suzannejones9294 I kinda thought so.

[@mariawinzler]

Man, you have time, patiences and TALENT to do something like this. I would have thrown in the towel just with the beads LOL. my nations family can bead but this stuff omg. wow.

[@Hippiechick11]

Beadwork is always beautiful and it takes more skill than people think it does.

[@ArtJunkie]

Unbelievable how u are able to do this and also teach at the same time. Absolutely amazing 😊

[@chriscavy]

Just got a fresh cup of tea and saw this video and life is perfect. Here we go! I'm so excited!!!

[@chriscavy]

I'm only 15:45 in but you could also use Delica style seed beads instead, they are that same stack-able shape as cut steel but are essentially the same price as the rounded shape Czech/Miyuki seed beads

[@loreleesomershein1249]

You could use delica beads instead of the round seed beads. They are like little cylinders and stack like the original steel cut beads in the pattern. I made some beaded jewelry for a short while and got to know the different beads on the market.

[@jolaiikey1015]

Just call the pattern a "Lilly", that what it says in French, do not break your tongue, you are a crochet wizard, that is good enough for me💖🙏🏼thank you for your work, greetings from 🇨🇭

[@tejkarlapudi6765]

Hats off to your dedication!!! Stupendous work!!!

[@justvintagecrochet]

Thank you so much 😀

[@msullivan3531]

Ughh. This is going on my crochet bucket list. Absolutely gorgeous.

[@roxann_bam]

It's so beautiful. I'm going to try this one. I've always loved the Flur-de-lee (phonic). It means lily flower, my favorite flower and two grandaughters names.😊

[@susanrussell8195]

Very well explained the pronunciation.

[@wanda11204]

I do not have the patience for this project, but it was a pleasure to watch you. You have mad patience. Beautiful work

[@cindyeldridge6399]

I love how down to earth you are and don't cut out the ooopsies that we all make as we do our craft!! Great video tutorial!

[@justvintagecrochet]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@twentynineteen4687]

I REALLY appreciate the beading tips. I've never been successful and had mostly given up. Now I'm willing to give it another try!

The Fleur de Lis stands for honesty, wisdom and loyalty, as well as the Virgin Mary's attribute for purity, charity and chastity.

[@rosemarycreollo4326]

OMG Corrina!!! You've been in my head again girl! I've always loved beaded crochet, but never really mastered it. Your little purse is going to be exquisite! One of my crochet Barbie clothes patterns is an Elizabethan beaded gown that I've drooled over making for decades! You just may see it in your mail someday! Thoroughly enjoyed this excellent tutorial! Thank you!

[@justvintagecrochet]

I'm so glad!

[@Mihier]

I downloaded the pattern - I'll do it! Finally a video describing the recording of the beads :) Since this is the principle of picking up the beads during embroidery, I am moving closer to my dream of sewing and embroidering a dress from the Titanic era. I'm happy - thank you!

[@ReallyJillRogoff]

What a stunning bag! Just gorgeous. Will have to finish watching later in the day, but am already applauding you.

[@julietheis1468]

You're an amazing teacher! ❤

[@justvintagecrochet]

Thank you! 😃

[@AlysianaHunter]

I'm not following along with the tutorial at all, but I am certainly enjoying these videos. I'm sitting here doing my own lacework crochet and feeling like I'm participating in a stitch and bitch and it's just such a lovely vibe. Thanks for creating such a comfortable space with your channel.

[@janiesmithling4518]

I always wondered how this was done. It is beautiful. I would love to try it but with my eyesight....I applaud those who have the temperament and skill to see a project like this thru.❤❤❤

[@bootsieardito1816]

WOW! What an accomplishment, Truly a work to be proud of. I can't wait to see it completed!!

[@susanrussell8195]

Corinna, I think you are doing an amazing job. Great idea to simplify the language to plain and bead since it’s all worked in single crochet.

[@lindaamburgey3211]

Impressive! I am looking forward to pt 2.

[@ddee1263]

Spectacular I really enjoyed watching this. This reminds me of the beaded Barbie dresses.

[@glendabrady9996]

There’s something soothing to me working small stitches and beads. I would spend hours beading. My hands don’t really want to do that anymore , so I enjoy crocheting bigger projects. I love hand work.

[@tarhabrown8038]

If you would like to say fleur de lis more like the French say it, it’s more like “floor-da Lee” :) But I digress. The bags are both stunning 🥰 I may have to try this.

[@DeborahKeleman]

P.S. I would also love a smaller bead crochet project, like a change purse! I just live the vintage crochet and I'm so pleased you have this channel. You are showing an art that should not be lost.

[@lauralewis3769]

I’m thinking a bookmark.

[@nicky3989]

You have such skill and patience, beautiful work as always. I don’t think my eyes would manage to focus on such tiny stitches. ❤

[@marionbartley214]

Hello Corrina, this bag work is beautiful. You crochet so beautifully, I'm looking forward to seeing more of how this bag turns out. It has my interest for sure, looking forward to the next video. Thanks for sharing it with us on KZbin.

[@patriciafitzgerald1953]

Wow! This will be gorgeous!! Fun to watch you do the beading. Looks like fun too! Can’t wait to see part 2 ❤️

[@marie-bf6iv]

You must have been reading my mind because i was just looking into making one of those old fashioned beaded bags and was going to start checking into the materials and how tos. Awesome tutorial can't wait for the rest of it ^^

[@llc1976]

😱that’s crochet?! Wow!!!

[@NancyM1115]

This purse is breathtaking. Thank you for showing us what is involved in the making of this beauty!

[@donnawoepke8861]

Just beautiful. In my earlier years I could have made something like this but my sharp vision isn't there now. Excellent.

[@lorriewhite7886]

Well my friend I believe you just gave me my next project! ❤

[@judepicton6252]

This is fabulous, such a clear demonstration and so beautiful thankyou

[@marimba26]

This is amazing to watch. I love watching you tackle these projects I would consider impossible, and then make sense of them. It's inspiring!

[@sisterpamop]

This is beautiful. I have several vintage purses that are so pretty. Women used to make this at home for income.

[@ComatoseCupcake]

I discovered recently that I find beaded crochet so fun and calming. One of my nieces requested bracelets for Christmas so that's what got me into it. My beads were awful though because I didn't know what I was buying and they kept just breaking in half on me. If I ever make something like this, I'll be more careful when purchasing materials lol. And I would love to make this because its just gorgeous!

[@bethroundell8424]

Beautiful! Larger no bead bag. I have knitted a sweater with a beaded yoke. I loved doing it. Wetting! Wow.

[@jen_gem]

So complex 😳 but you make it look so easy!

[@theartsypixie2771]

Ohh this would be awesome in purple with metalic green beads and a gold clasp. Perfect for Mardi Gras next year. ❤

[@maryrichardson8790]

Oh, this looks so much fun, I definitely want to try it! So pretty! Thank you for picking this one, Corinna. I hope I can be as good as you. 😊 ❤😊😊

[@Manuela-qj7hp]

This is a totally extraordinarily ridiculous and wonderful thing and I am ready to start a project. Bravo!!! Awesome job. Thank you thank you thank you.

[@ambidextrousandre]

I've never seen anything like this and I must say I'm quite enchanted to the point where I would like to do this. Perhaps one day when I'm not busy creating cards :) But yes I'll definitely give this a go in the near future. Thank you for showing. Very beautiful.

[@j.lightlady7596]

Alright, I've watched this series a couple times, the second time following along with the pattern. The supplies have arrived, I chose white thread and seafoam green with an aurora borealis coating. You explained this so well, thanks for the pattern and inspiration! ❤

[@naomiwendy2234]

Upon seeing this, before getting too far into the video, I went to the site and purchased the pattern... Thank you so much for finding this pattern and making it available to us. I've wanted to do bead crochet for years! Thank you again, and be well. ❤️ 🤗

[@falcongal63]

This is ambitious of you! Sadly such fine (as in itty-bitty) work is beyond my capabilities but it’s fun to watch you tackle this project. I’ve always loved vintage beaded purses, but never really considered the process to make them. Well done! 👏🏼

[@Dr4gonDr0p]

There are some really great gadgets to help magnify ‘itty bitty’ projects. I use magnifying glasses clips and a neck light! Which is super helpful!

[@therealnancysteele]

Just wow!!! Beautiful work. You have the dress...Now you'll have a bag to go with it. Youre so amazing.

[@beckstheimpatient4135]

I love seeing something so unique! It's definitely a lot more complex than much of your content, but I find it fascinating as a beginner. It's something to aspire to in the future! Also nice to see Alize yarn across the pond - here in Romania it's my main yarn brand!

[@devils.advocate2354]

Beautiful ma’am. The patience of learning new skill… beadwork👏👏👏

[@dee4174]

This is one I would love to do, but doubt I have the eyesight for it. You are so patient and your skills are growing every day. ❤

[@Dr4gonDr0p]

I am so going to try this! I like the smaller size idea as well 😊

[@LunasMagicYarns]

Oh my this is so beautiful,I can't wait to see it finished. Amazing work thankyou so much for sharing

[@debbienewton909]

Incredibly beautiful!! Waayyyyy behind my expertise, but that is gorgeous!!

Ooh! Delicious❤thanks Corrina must have a go at this. Colours are great ❤❤❤🇦🇺

❤ I love this project and so plan to give it a go!!! Thanks Sister

[@sinairaphaele1341]

Beautiful i will try . I made some with two colors without beads and it's so beautiful I will try for sure. Thanks !!

[@lisagalle9222]

Man that looks so complicated! I am not a crafty minded person but i love watching other people do them. I wish KZbin had a way that you could pronounce something. I am from Dubuque Iowa where we had a packing house. They produced hams that have this name so I've been hearing it my whole life 😊

[@patytrico]

Lovely! Great idea the phone case, thank you!

[@stephanieevans2108]

Hi brilliant! I love ❤ Quick tip I use a bead spinner and curved needle for threading lots of seed beads of the same colour.

[@barbaracabrera207]

This is TOTALLY GORGEOUS!!! TFS! Austin TX USA

[@jlivingstone3799]

Wow!!!! I have the tiny hook now. This will go on my list.

[@emmaleethompson7964]

It's adorable. Would make a great phone bag.

[@44Lisbeth]

i love watching your videos. I don't think i would ever dare trying crocheting with beads but i would love the other version :) can't wait to see you end resoult :) it looks gorgous already

[@jeanmartin6410]

By the time row eleven came around, I was feeling your pain. Beautiful piece!!

[@TheGeekyBanana]

I just love your channel! I’ve always wanted to get into beading, this is so cool! ❤

[@kathleendana]

You just outdid yourself!! Thank you!!

[@barbranyberg2694]

Wow. Not sure i'd do this, but love watching as usual.

[@1daySomeday]

once i finish the 4 projects i am on right now , i will be tackling that one immediately after - i cannot wait to do a project i have in mind with that technique using those size beads with a pattern and item i plan on making!

[@eileenlynch6896]

This looks really difficult ..not sure I could manage this even though I’m quite an experienced crocheter.. but I do so admire your work and this is a beautiful little bag.Great work once again Corrina..❤️

[@justvintagecrochet]

I promise you , It's rather easier than it looks, I hope 1 day you give it a try :)

[@Whenlifegivesyoulemonscrochet]

Oh my god those that look gorgeous! Have not started the video yet and I cannot wait for it! Going to have to make plans for this one!

[@tracycaldwell7679]

My hat off to you for this.😊I love this channel.

[@BeccainHawaii]

I love the tapestry crochet version!

[@cyndivarnell7560]

If I had the time, I'd make this. I'm working on two baby blankets and clothes for new granddaughters coming this summer.

[@bethgoldman2560]

I’m going to the Opera at The Met in April….we are dressing to the nines and this bag would be a lovely little purse with just the essentials!

[@lisajarvis3820]

Thank you for the pattern which I bought from your website!!

[@kristibbradshaw]

I love this. phonetically it’s floor de Lee.

[@gailjohnson2795]

I made a clamshell bag in blue seed beads and a drawstring bag in ivory . I have a bag with bird pattern not started but this may Inspire me to revisit that. I love more technical work

[@moonchild845]

Absolutely gorgeous ❤

[@aneelab8476]

beautiful nail varnish!!

[@Serenity_Craft]

You can get the correct shaped beads more affordably than you found. They are called Delica beads. Half the battle is knowing what to look for. I purchase all of mine through a business online, but if anyone has an actual bead store nearby, they are easy to find that way. Edit: I forgot to mention that type of needle is called a big eye needle. They can be useful, but also break easily.

[@JustASmallTownGirl1974]

Good for you girl! I def don’t have the patience! I am Native American and I can’t even do beadwork because I am soooo impatient!

[@DLRyoung]

What a cute item. No I won’t be able to do it, but it’s so pretty. God bless

[@cydnicaldwell1337]

Delica seed beads are cylinder shaped and would work as a modern day alternative to the steel cut beads in the pattern. Loved this and plan to me a few soon. I might also try doing it with gold or silver wire.

[@charlenegarcia5144]

Good God, that's Stunning

[@electinae]

French-speaking Louisianian here! Fleur is pronounced with the sound like the word "Flirt", so when you say the whole thing it's kind of like saying "flirtily" but with a D sound instead of a T? If that makes sense haha.

[@osmia]

[@tarhabrown8038]

I said try “floor-da Lee” 🤣🤣🤣

[@AmoCultumAlo]

Ah! Gorgeous! I'm definitely not at the skill level to try this now, but it's going on my someday list! It's funny, though. I only discovered tapestry crochet's existence yesterday, and here you are with something that can use that technique as a substitute. Amazing. Oh, and if you did this in blue and white, it would look very inspired by the flag of Quebec! It uses the fleur-de-lis (the 'lis' part is, indeed, pronounced as 'lee' -- as in Robert E. Lee) as the main motif as well. I might have to learn some tapestry crochet and try this out that way first. Maybe I'll opt for a thicker yarn and make a project bag! Looking forward to the next part!

[@drewadrawing]

Oh this is so stunning, I can't wait for part 2!

[@lindaramshaw3277]

Good morning from South West France and a huge thank you for your video tutorials. Im so impressed and in awe with your skills; both as a teacher and in crochet itself! Sadly, the nimbleness and eyesight needed to recreate this lovely piece is beyond my capabilities however, wondered if the pattern could be replicated in the round in mosaic crochet? I would love to make a cushion cover using the same design. Thank you and have a great day.

[@DeborahKeleman]

Absolutely gorgeous! Thank you!

[@402077662]

I love this. Do you calculate the amount of beads needed for the whole project before starting? Or just start with some initial amount of beads and when you run out, you cut the thread, loop more on and rejoin?

[@rebeccahandley2565]

You take my breath away
