As the weather starts cooling down, I thought a perfect way to bring in the fall spirit was to do a diy based on my favourite fall accessory: scarves! I loveee scarves and I especially love the look and the coziness of infinity scarves, so enjoy this very simple and oh-so-cute scarf makeover!
Make sure they're fairly evenly spaced apart!
Cut out 2 pieces of yarn for your buttons. I doubled up on the yarn for a little more stability. I chose red yarn to go with my grey scarf to add some warmth and in (yes, very, VERY early) preparation for Christmas-time! I confess, I'm that person that sings Christmas songs months before December, gets ecstatic about the first snowfall, and drink litre after litre of eggnog as soon as it hits the stores.
{ I N S T R U C T I O N S }
1. Take your 2 pieces of yarn, grab a skewer (or something along those lines..) and poke your yarn through your button holes.
2. Using the skewer, poke your yarn through the scarf.
3. Double knot, triple knot, figure eight knot those pieces of yarn!
4. And voila, the back of your scarf should look like so. Grab a pair of scissors and snip off the edges and you're done!

I am so in love with both of these scarves! They're so cozy and warm and wonderfully fall-ish. Look out for an outfit post featuring these in the future cause they are definitely going to become a staple in my fall wardrobe. Happy fall dear friends!!

Great idea! I barely ever wear my regular scarves but wear my infinity scarves to death. I am definitely going to be doing this to some of my neglected scarves!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteDid you shorten your scarf first? They appear shorter than some of the scarves I currently have.
ReplyDeletedid you cut the scarf to make it shorter? If so, how did you stop it from fraying
ReplyDeleteThanks all for the love! Be sure to send us your photos if you make one yourself =] & no, I didn't shorten my scarves...the one I knit myself so I made it the length I wanted it and the other was just a shorter scarf in general. But I have made some more that are quite a bit longer and they work just as well!
ReplyDeleteWould be so cute for kids, too, with fun shape buttons!
ReplyDeleteThis is so cute
ReplyDeleteIf you have a scarf that's too long, perhaps you can loop it around twice....
ReplyDeleteThis is great! I didn't have to buy anything and its so easy.
ReplyDeleteYep! I am going to try this! Right now :)
ReplyDeleteAre the two ends of the scarf sewed together?
ReplyDeleteno they're not, only the buttons are holding them together and mine work totally fine that way =]
DeleteThat is such a cute idea! I just posted it here on my german blog: http://schoenstricken.de/2012/11/diy-mache-aus-deinem-alten-schal-einen-loop/
ReplyDeleteI hope that is fine with you.

could you maybe use and old sweater?
ReplyDeleteSalvation Army, etc...are great places to find beautiful buttons on horrifying old clothes. Just snip them off and reuse!
ReplyDeleteI love this! Where did you get your buttons?
ReplyDeleteI got my buttons at a local yarn store =] I've also seen them at craft stores like Michaels and another way I collect buttons is at thrift stores, they often have jars of buttons or I'll look for a cheap sweater that has big buttons that I like! Hope that helps!
DeleteWonderful tutorial - I've added this to my list of things I must try!
ReplyDeleteNew follower to your great blog and I've included a link to this tutorial on my blog :)
