Why does it seem like summer requires so much more crap? Suddenly you have sunglasses and sunscreen, lip gloss and large brimmed hats, water bottles and misting fans burgeoning out of your bag. It’s like the amount of crap in your handbag is inversely proportional to the number of clothing items you are wearing. It’s Summer Math, I guess.
Anyway, the warmer temps call for new, attractive ways to cart around all the crap that summer requires. I have gathered up 30 of my favorite bag tutorials from around the interwebs. You will find ways to make or decorate purses, tote, and clutches that are suited for all the variables of Summer Math.
