You are going to close the bottom of the bag while adding one bead to from the side. As you get to the sides you will close it like the heart amulet bag with a 3 bead row of square stitch. Ok here is the bottom ogf the bag now.
Those yellow beads are really silver lined ones. Ther are the very bottom of the bag.
You need to tie on a thread (Nymo B, these beads have enough thread in them already). Star with the on of the beads in the vertical row next to the the one with the yellow beads. come through it, add a new silver lined bead and loop onto the thread between the yellow bead and it's neighborlike in regular brick stitch. thew new bead is colored red in the picture below that I hope explains this.
OK, you are at the top of a red bead. You close finally the way
you form a ladder to do a base row of brick stitch, you enter the s/l
bead top to bottom, then loop back throughthe red bead. you need to
reposition the needle so that you are at the top of
the
last s/l bead in the next row (illustration 1) snake up through the
correct s/l bead in the row above to start to close that row
down.
Add another one of the s/l beads (colored red) and loop onto the two thread shown in illustration 2. You are at the top of the red bead again.
Now you close that row by going through the s/l bead that was the edge of the flat pattern as shown in illustration 3
I often tie a slip knot at the location of the purple Xs when I am doing this to keep the tension tight, rather than depending on the loop from the bottom of the red bead (the green line) looping securely onto both threads.
When you get to where the black Xs are in the graph below stop this method of closure.
Now you closing with a row of square stitch like in the heart amulet bag
GO TO DIRECTIONS FOR HEART CLOSURE
When you get to the last bead orientated correctly for square stitch at the top of the arm (Y), you need to insert a small button closure at the top to the upper arm or it will flop over. The size of the loop depends on the button or samll bead that you select.
