"Dear Summer, I miss you so much. Winter has been cold and dreary. I want you back." I guess you can tell how much I am missing summer right now. I could go crazy trying to keep warm in this cold and thinking about all the fun I had last summer. In preparation for Summer 2011, I made a refashioned straw bag! Whoopieee! I have always been inspired by Japanese fashion and this straw bag is a perfect example of its influences on me.

Gather materials
Use glue gun to glue a thick, ‘holey’ lace all around the middle of the straw bag.
Use glue gun to glue another lace fabric slightly above the lace used in the previous step.
Tie ribbons and glue them wherever you like. Add extra trimmings around the bag if you like.
I only used white trimmings for my lace bag because I didn’t want the trimmings to overwhelm the entire bag. Also, I was awfully scared of not being able to carry off such a feminine-looking bag.
So, here you are, a very short and simple tutorial for the summer. I can’t wait to use this bag when summer comes!
