How to Make a Thrifty Scarf

I love me a great scarf -- so here's one that only takes about half an hour to make. These are also great for gifts, and just in time for Christmas! Whip one up -- and share it with everyone with a video response!

I am going to make the scarf for sure, just need to make up my mind on the right fabrick and I would also add some fur and some leather somewhere to the scarf (those are my favorite materials).

@TubeYouLena That is a fabulous idea, using leather. I just saw a tutorial from Threadbanger on making a loop scarf from a t-shirt (Mr. Kate). You should definitely check that out -- she uses a leather band and some beads and leftover jewelry to dress it up. Great ideas!

I'm so inspired by your video. I am thinking about using stretchy serger thread and cashmere. It might actually come out looking like something I saw at Marshall's. Will give it a try and report back. I am also thinking about embroidering it... hmm. but with ruffles, embroidery might not go well. Maybe just monogram. Love your creativity. Have to try it out on polyester fabics first. Or some old unwanted scarf.

@szeto2828 What great ideas! I would LOVE to see them! I'm sure you'll come up with something fabulous that can be monogrammed or embroidered. Can't wait to see it!

I really enjoyed your tutorial! Will you be posting how to make the other scarves you showed?

[mwnjw]

@essiemorebeck I might, but probably not -- those really were just experiments. But you should experiment too! Just take any of those thrift store dresses, cut them up, and have at it. I'd love to see one of yours -- how about a video response with one you did?

Thanks so much for watching!
