This beaded handbag was inspired by Arwen’s butterfly headpiece and her green coronation dress as portrayed in the Lord of the Rings series. The butterfly motif, which is beaded and hand-stitched after knitting, transforms this easy bag into a stunning accessory.

Full color pictures and a beading diagram will guide you through each step. The techniques in the pattern include I-cord, picot edging, and sewn on beads.
