"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.

You Will Need (3 things)

  • Hot Glue Gun
  • Lace
  • 1 Straw Bag

Steps (6 steps, 10 minutes)

  1. 1

    Gather materials

  2. 2

    Use glue gun to glue a thick, ‘holey’ lace all around the middle of the straw bag.

  3. 3

    Use glue gun to glue another lace fabric slightly above the lace used in the previous step.

  4. 4

    Tie ribbons and glue them wherever you like. Add extra trimmings around the bag if you like.

  5. 5

    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.

  6. 6

    So, here you are, a very short and simple tutorial for the summer. I can’t wait to use this bag when summer comes!
