When we go on vacation, it is really important to take a straw or any beach bag with us. There is so much stuff needed to be placed there, and second, taking a bag that you usually have with you out for work or partying can be easily damaged and not very useful. However, we know that a regular straw bag seems really simple for many, so again you can change the look with pom poms. You can attach pom poms on the bag as pictured, but you can always use other colors and position the pom-poms differently.
