I initially wanted to make it ONE solid color...but I didn't have 2 of the same color scarves....plus my daughter loves mis-matched EVERYTHING..so I figured what the heck! I got the idea from this website.... www.rufflesandstuff.com (which I found on Pinterest...do you people see a recurring addiction of mine? LOL). Here is my qick recap on how I did it!
Step 1: Cut the fringe off ONE end of both scarves....KEEP the fringe you are going to need it later!
Step 2: Line up the fringe-less ends and pin together!
Step 3: Sew the ends together...either by hand or using your sewing machine..I used my machine!
Step 4: Make 3 LOOPS on each side of the scarves...make sure they are as even as possible. (after i finished sewing my loops..i realized that i should have started at the bottom of the scarves b/c by the seam in the back.i have 2 bows..that aren't really that nice..but it still turned out ok) Each side should look something like this...Just pin right above where you want to sew the loop.
Step 5: Sew your loops...i used my machine again..but it might be easier to do by hand. The loops will look something like this when finished:
Step 6: Take each loop and lay it open flat over the seam you just sewed....then pinch and fold to make a bow shape. Then take ribbon and wrap around the middle to secure the bow shape...Your bows should look something like this..make sure each side is even on the bow....
Step 7: Take the fringe you cut off in the beginning and wrap around the center of the bow to cover the ribbon. you can use Hot Glue to secure it in the back..or just tie a knot and trim the excess off...i used pink fringe on the purple bows and purple on the pink...
The finished scarf should look a little like this...even though it's mismatched i think it came out super cute! I will definately be hitting up the Dollar Store to get more scarves so I can make a few more of these cuties!
Try it out and let me know how it worked out for you!
