Find a few large, colorful scarves. You will need two very large scarves. Measure from your shoulder to your hips and around the widest part of your torso. Make sure to give yourself a few inches of wiggle room on the sides. This will make the tunic drape better.

Make sure the scarves match or contain similar colors or patterns.

Pin the two scarves together with right sides facing around yourself. Pin down the sides, and pin at the shoulders to make sure you are leaving enough room for your arm to move comfortably.
