Crafting Session: Lattice Pattern Hand-Beaded Bridal Sash

 Updates from the latest crafting session of hand beading a bridal sash/belt to be added to the Etsy shop!

This particular project actually took several sessions of about 1-2 hours each.  It features a lattice pattern that is essentially comprised of a total of 4 zig zagged lines spaced evenly on the beaded portion of the sash/belt.  I was inspired by Victorian and Edwardian style beading.

Supplies needed:
-ribbon (here 3 yards were used as it was to be a sash/belt for an adult)
-glass beads of the larger size
-sturdy thread (it doesn't have to match the ribbon color)
-needle

This particular image to the right show 3 of the lines and, at the very top, you can see where the last zag hasn't been finished yet.

 To the left and at the top, you can start to see the finished pattern emerging as the 4th set of zig zags are added.

 I think the back of the piece comes out nearly as pretty as the front!  You can see from the picture on the right all the intersections.

 Voila!  The finished piece!
