Things You'll Need:
- Blank silk scarves or fabric
- Fabric paint
- sewing notions- needle, thread, scissors, etc.

- painting supplies
- foam board
- fabric dye and supplies (optional)
-
Step 1
-If you're using blank silk scarves, you can skip this step.
If using cut fabric, you will need to measure and cut the fabric to the appropriate size. A 22x66 rectangle will provide sufficient coverage, as will a 45x45 rectangle. -
Step 2
If you'd like to make an under scarf, use a stretchy knit fabric, 22 inches long and 8 inches wide, and sew the short ends together, making an open ended tube. Hem or serge the edges in the same manner as the main scarf.

Step 3
If you are using fabric paint or dye, follow the instructions given by the manufacturer. Fabric paint, however, should be applied thinly or diluted, lest your finished garment become stiff. The dyed fabric or paint should be dry before proceeding.
-
Step 4
Next, iron the scarf, and pin any trims or edgings to the fabric before sewing on. The trim or edging should have sufficient drape to allow the fabric to be wrapped and pinned. Sew on any edgings, and hem or serge the raw edges.
