diy::cute cowl from thrifted scarf

I thrifted this scarf a little while ago and loved the pattern but not the worn out brown fringe on the ends so I made it into a cowl! Here are the three simple steps so you can do it too (and this is #3 for project restyle if anyone is counting...yay! I am actually keeping up with this!).



step 1 - cut off both ends of the scarf



step 2 - sew those two ends together



step 3 - turn so sewn ends are on the inside and wear!
(you will end up with a large loop that you can wrap around twice or wear long)

I really enjoy this cowl now and and am happy to be giving it a little more life!



Here are a few black and whites as well, just for you lovely readers :)
h&k, Mandi

    great idea! i usually just tie the fringed ends together to make a cowl...but i might as well just cut them off and sew...thanks for the idea! :)
