How about giving your bag an ombre look? This is a drastic makeover what will require paints and paintbrush only. I am so in love with gradated colors next to each other, creating strips on the tote. You can always make your tote look preppy. Go for pastel hues and argyle pattern. You better cut a nice diamond template first before making any painting on the bag. I like those diamond patterns embroidery thread. You can paint a flamingo on its front side. This will require fabric paint, foam brush, iron and freezer paper. The bird’s template can be provided by the crafter. You can even add some tropical details to refresh your bag. This is a great style for those ladies who spend much time on the beach.

Use pastel fabrics to complement the color of your bag. How about adding wavy sequins on your bag? This makeover can be accomplished using only a thin strip of sequin trim. Thin strip of sequin trim was sewn to the straw bag with fun wave pattern. If you do want to make your straw bag look fresh and fun, but don’t want to use much effort, then you can add hanging pom-poms. You need simply hang or tie them to the handles. If pom-poms is not enough, then be sure to paint the bag with fun and bright stripes. You will need scissors, masking tape, glue and pom-pom trim. Use stamps to update your pretty beach straw bag.
