Sprav to keep the wrinkles away
Spring Break isn't just about getting away from classes and homework for a week, it's also about going out and hooking up in a new, exotic location. To accomplish that, you'll need to look your best. Unfortunately, stuffing your sexiest clothes in a duffel bag won't keep them looking sharp and will cause unsightly wrinkles. To get the wrinkles out, take along a can of spray starch, available from retailers such as Target and Wal-Mart for less than a dollar. Just hang your clothes up, spray a little bit of the starch on them and tug the wrinkles out.

Hit the Beach
Ditch the backpack and use this beach bag for your shades and seashells during spring break. Marliyn Hall, manager of Hancock Fabrics, 2108 W. $ 27^{th}$ St., showed me how to make a cool beach bag made from an old beach towel.
mant an old beach towel
C a beach tautle twice the length
you want your bag to be and the
exact width you want. For example,
if you want a 15-inch by 10-inch bag,
start with a beach tautle cut at 30
inches by 10 inches.
Fold the towel in half horizontally. Now the 30-inch length becomes 15 inches.
Stitch both sides of the bag by
hand or with a machine. Then turn the bag inside out.
Turn the top edges of the bag in and stitch them so that no raw edges are showing. Or leave the top edges of the bag unown and decorate them with fringe or glue on beads.
Use a small cord or rope for the strap. Poke holes through the towel at both top corners of the bag and thread the rope through the towel and knot the end of the rope to secure.
