i have seen a small (evening style) purse made out of wire with beads on it. I am searching for instructions. The person that I know who made it said she took a class to learn how to do it so there must be instructions out there somewhere. HELP if you can. THANKS !

Ah, my favorite, wire crochet. I don't agree with a lot of her information, but ....
If you don't want to/can't crochet a purse, and wire is nothing to try to learn to crochet with, could you use something like screening? A long rectangle, folded envelope style, and then embellished with beads?
Or, if you want it "gusseted", figure out how wide you want the bag to be, and cut rectangles out of the wire, and whipstitch them in place with more wire. Fold over the flap, use a snap or magnet with a bead on it as a closure, then sew beads on the mesh itself?
I have no idea what your friend's purse looks like, so I am just picturing in my mind, how I would make a wire and bead ppurse.
