This is one of the easiest weavings to make for a pretty purse or bag handle.
Make 3 crocheted ropes in 3 different colors which either contrast or harmonize with your bag, tote or purse.
Make them a little bit longer than you think your need them, to allow for the twisting and weaving, but leave one end
attached to the ball or skein, just in case you need to add more length to complete your project.
Attach the finished end of each rope to a pillow or something that will allow you to do the weaving without the ropes moving all over the place. The rope that will weave through the twisted ones, if still attached to a ball or skein, must lie on the
opposite direction than the others, otherwise, the ball or skein will not permit you to pass the rope through the twists.
To make the woven braid, proceed as follows:
1- Attach first two braids. Then twist them over each other, pin down to keep them in place.
2- Take weaver rope and then pass it over and under in between the
middle of the twists.Once you have the desired length, sew to a purse ring and you have a pretty embellished strap for your next purse, tote, or bag!

Looks great and I love the idea of homemade woven purse handles. I stumbled the post for you on SU. Hope to see you around again on StumbleUpon. Best wishes.

Thank you, Cindy! I bought a new computer and could not get my account at SU to cooperate with the change! I have been completely shut out of StumbleUpon and really don't know what to do about it. Any ideas?
ReplyDeleteYou could try this link http://www.stumbleupon.com/feedback/ or if you email me, I could give you more info. Did you try to just download the SU toolbar again?
ReplyDeleteYeah, I've tried to download the SU toolbar but it won't work, because I am shut out from my account. It just won't let me log in with the same username and the same password from another computer so I am very effectively shut out!
