Quotable Sequined Beach Bag with Bright Tassels

Posted by Christie on May 24th 2017

This sunny summer project is inspired by the hottest trend of the year; tassels! This quick and easy DIY Beach Bag is perfect for impromptu trips to the beach, and has plenty of storage for big beach blankets, sunscreen and your favorite summer paperback novel. It’s a no-sew project that can be made with just a few fun supplies. Best of all, you can customize it to fit your own unique personality and style!

What You’ll Need:

Step 1: With the bag laid flat on your work surface, lay the Agnes Party Tassel Trim across the top border in a straight horizontal line, about a half inch from the top.

Step 2: Once you’ve determined the length and ensured that your line is straight, trim off the end, and adhere to the bag with hot glue.

Step 3: Arrange a length of the shell beaded trim over the black portion of the tassel trim, concealing it completely. Glue in place.

Step 4: When you reach the edges, trim the ends of the trims to ¼” and wrap over the edge, gluing in place as shown.

Step 5: Decide on a phrase that you’d like to add to the front of your bag. Beachy, fun quotes are especially fun! For our bag, we used the pun, “I need vitamin sea”. This was carefully drawn onto the front of the bag, using a sharpie marker just to create thin guidelines.

Step 6. Using hot glue, trace small portions of the script with a bead of glue, and adhere sequins as you work. It helps to have a narrow item, such as this wood skewer, to assist in pressing the sequins into the glue to ensure they are well secured to the bag.

Step 7: Continue covering your guidelines with the sequins. We used different colors, which were chosen to coordinate with the party tassel trim.

Once completed, your bag is ready to use! Fill it with all your fun summer essentials, and you’re ready to hit the sand in style!
