What are woven accessories made of?
To create trendy accessories, natural materials - straw - and multi-colored synthetic fibers are used. Some designers use leather jute. And the weaving technique simply amazes the imagination: large segments alternate with small geometric shapes and are complemented by small pigtails.
What to wear?
A woven bag is especially good with simple outfits: a light plain maxi dress or a stylish white outfit, a hat and a fashionable jacket will create a harmonious look. As for shoes, here the perfect complement would be sandals or sandals without a heel with interwoven straps. Remember that woven bags are at the peak of popularity today, so a real lady must definitely get this little thing for the summer.
Actual models
The most popular form of a handbag is a trapezoid, but a woven rectangular bag will be no less relevant. And a girl who has a woven bag-basket in her hands will certainly attract the prying eyes of passers-by - after all, only a very confident lady will decide on such a stylish image . Pay attention to the interesting model of the set, complemented by an intricate weave. Bags and backpacks decorated with straw braids are the trend of this season. Wicker handbags are also popular among young people. Even if this attribute of the image is very voluminous, its owner will look very feminine. And the craftswomen can create their own design masterpiece: look through the magazines on needlework, for sure you will come across a good option, especially since making a bag with your own hands is not at all difficult.
How to make a wicker bag yourself?First you need to stock up on straw, collected in early August. Dry and sort the raw materials to size. If you use last year’s grass, leave it for a quarter of an hour in the water to make it more elastic. The easiest way to weave is with braids. Three straws tightly intertwine as in a braid. When one stalk ends, weave the next into it, etc. Continue weaving in a circle, bending on the walls. After finishing work, the bag needs to be beaten off with a hammer, ironed and attached with additional accessories (handle) and decoration elements. The finished bag can be easily painted in any shade - and your bright summer accessory is ready!
