Spring Trend May Bolt DIY Creativity

Bargain hunting through thrift stores can actually be pretty fun once in a while. I recall a few years back scourging through my neighborhood Goodwill racks and finding tiny straw purses. I was compelled to purchase these items for their distinctive patterns and for that Easter bunny feel. These straw bags prove as an easy project for creativity. Your local arts and crafts store probably has plenty of straw-like materials waiting to be altered with your own touches of color and add ons. With this trend in season, I can only anticipate for the many DIY accessories people will create. Who would have guessed that this thrifty look would come back for Spring 2010. If you're not one to shop at vintage shops don't worry; the biggest name brands are compiling a line full of these straw good accessories.
