The Good Life Blog | DIY: T-shirt Beach Tote. 29 June 2012 I woke up a few weeks ago, checked my email, and was beyond happy to see that Gap (of all places?) Had sent me an email about creating a diy beach tote. Seriously, those people are too cool. Good style + diy tips? Naturally, I went to Goodwill and picked up this summer-fun-yellow tee. 1. 2. 3. 4. There you have it! …and you are ready to soak up the sun! Enjoying the Good Life, Kendra. Floppy Disk Bag. Vinyl Record Purse. Book Bag. Book Clutch. I love things that are quirky, and if they boarder on the nerdy side of quirky I love them even more. Olympia Le-Tan’s handmade embroidered book clutches are so perfectly and quaintly quirky that I immediately fell in love.

If the clutches alone hadn’t already woo-ed me sufficiently, the film she made with Spike Jonze for Nowness definitely would have tipped me over the edge into obsession. The real thing starts around $1,300, but you can DIY for about $15! I used one of these newly reprinted classics from Barnes & Noble, they’re perfect for this with whimsical hardcovers and sturdy pages. Like this: Like Loading... VHS videotape clutch.
