Do you have a closet full of beach towels that you rarely use? Do you want a new summer tote that’s perfect to bring to the beach, pool, or your next cookout? A DIY beach towel bag is a simple project that you’ll use all season long.

DIY in the Sun

As the weather warms up, you might be planning for some fun summer outings. While trips to the beach can be relaxing, coming home with clothes and bags full of sand can be a pain. However, a tote bag made out of a towel can easily be thrown in the wash. Even better, you’ll have a one-of-a-kind accessory on your next vacation. These tote bags also make a great gift!

All you’ll need is a beach towel (the larger your towel, the larger your tote will be), a couple of feet of a sturdy ribbon, and some sewing supplies. You can find full directions for this DIY project on Yellow Bliss Road’s page “How to Make a Towel Beach Bag.”
