Rather than investing in a new purse for the summer, why not test out this DIY tutorial that teaches you how to upcycle an old, unused straw bag with homemade tassels.
Bright colors and fun prints are always in for summer fashion, so this DIY tutorial is a great low-cost way to turn a boring straw beach bag into a colorful tassel tote. All you need is a few skeins of colorful embroidery floss, an unused straw tote and a needle. To make the tassels, simply loop together a knot around several even-length pieces of floss. Remember to add an extra piece of floss for you to attach the tassel to the bag. Then simply pick how you'd like to arrange your technicolor tassels on your new tote, loop the tassel onto the straw bag with the needle and secure it into place.
