I'm Stealing the Towels

It's summer, so it's definitely beach/pool time in my book. That means, for me at least, trying to look fab while carrying our picnic basket, towels, books, toys and all else. I was in one of my favorite stores last week, Simply Perfect (http://www.simplyperfectstore.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=89&Itemid=172) and saw a cute solution: a decorated towel skirt.
Hallelujah!
Then I saw the price tag.
$25.
Huh.
I could MAKE that.
And, you can too!
You need:

A beach towel
Eyelet edging
Rick rack
Velcro closures
Patches or bling or both

Pin eyelet edging to one side of the towel and sew as a decorative edge. On the "right" side, pin Rick rack and sew. Bling out your towel (I'm particularly fond of fabric rosettes right now). Attach Velcro at the top to keep your skirt closed.
Be fabulous.
