Making pompoms can be time consuming. A skein of ready made poms is a huge time saver for so many different types of crafts. I just happened to have a naked straw beach bag on hand that needed a makeover so the timing was perfect.
I opted for the light blue since it seemed beachy like my bag. I was unsure of how I was going to get the pompom yarn attached to the bag. Sure cutting the pompoms off the yarn and gluing them to my bag was an option, but I wanted to try and weave them in. Plus I like the look of the cording between the pompoms.
You need the right beach bag for this job. The woven straw beach tote I had has loops that I could easily use to weave, knot or tie. There is about 2″s of cording between each pompom in Pomp-a-Doodle yarn. The knotting for this beach bag is done with the yarn between the pompoms. Pull a loop of cording through one of the spaces in the woven bag making a U shape.
Pull the next pompom on the yarn through the loop of yarn cording. This will make a knot. Continue this with every few loops in the weave of the straw bag. How many spaces you leave will depend on the bag. How much of your beach bag gets a pompom makeover is up to you. Cover the entire thing, just the very top or maybe half.
I hope you enjoyed this beach bag makeover. You can check out more crafty fun on my blog https://jenniferperkins.com/
