DIY Circle Scarf!

DIY Circle Scarf!




Do you have those scarves that you wish you could wear as a circle scarf, but ya cant?
Well im going to show you how!


~ Materials ~
~The scarf you want to transform
~A sewing machine 
(or you can use a needle and thread if you want to do it by hand)
~A Rotary Cutter, Ruler, & Mat 
(you can use scissors for this if you dont have those)
~Scissors 
~Any other embellishments etc. you want to add

Ok Let's get started!


Step 1: Fold your scarf in half width wise


Step 2: Line up your ruler. this doesnt have to be even or straight 
or anything but you dont want it to be too wonky


Step 3: Cut  along the edge of the ruler with your rotary cuter.
(You can save your fringe scraps for other art projects)

Step 4: Flip your scarf over and repeat first 3 steps.


Now you should have a fringe-less scarf!


Step 5: Fold the ends you just cut together and lay it down so you can pin it together


Step 6: Pin the ends together.


Step 7: Pick the stitch you want to use!
I am using a blanket stitch but whatever you want to use will be fine!


Step 8: Pick your thread and start stitchin'
(remove pins as you go and stay about a 1/4-1/2" from the edge)


Step 9: Stitch all the way to the end, and then back stitch about a 1/2"-1" backwards.


Step 10: It should look like this!


Step 11: Trim the edge to make it even.


Step 12: Turn it inside out and wear it!

Thats all the steps you need to turn your regular scarf into a stylish circle!
