Start by deciding what colors of yarn you want to use on your tote. I chose to do a Black and white color block on the handle and used more vibrant colors for my pom-poms and tassels.Once you have your yarn ready to go simply add some glue to a small portion of you handle, this will allow you to wrap the yarn around at a good pace without it drying before you get to the end of the handle.

So then just wrap the glue area with your desired yarn color. Continue this until the handle is completely covered and simply end it by tying a knot at the end.

With some scissors cut a small piece of yarn and use that to tie the yarn in the center. With the scissors cut the ends of the yarn to form a pom-pom.

The tassels have a similar process but instead I just use two fingers to make the tassel longer. Start by wrapping yarn around two fingers and carefully slide the yarn off.

Cut a small a piece of yarn and tie it to the top of the tassel. Use the scissors to cut the bottom of the yarn to form the tassel.

Make a braid out of yarn and use it to hang the pom-poms and tassels off the side of the tote.

Now you’re ready to hit the beach and take in the summer rays and show off your new tote.
