Step 1
First, measure and cut your scarf so that it is 40 inches long.

Step 2
Then, fold the piece of leather in half. The straight side of the D-ring will rest inside the fold. Draw a shape that looks like a half an hourglass, with the shortest side on the fold, using the D-ring to calculate its size.

Step 3
Next, cut along the lines. When you unfold it, the leather piece will look like a full hourglass. Do this twice to make two hourglass leather pieces.

Step 4
Now, fold the scarf lengthwise. Place one half of a leather piece under one end. Slide the D-ring onto the piece of leather.

Step 5
Fold over the leather piece so the end of the scarf and the D-ring are sandwiched inside the leather.

Attach a clip to the D-ring.

Step 7
Switch your sewing machine needle to a 110/18 needle made for leather. Sew the leather piece to the scarf with your sewing machine.
