A Handmade Christmas Week 9 {Easy Scarves!}

 Good morning! Would you like some ideas for easy, economical and trendy gifts? These scarves are so easy and fun to make. I have had fun finding ideas online and then doing my own thing a little too. Here is what we have been making:

Ruffle Scarf

Another Ruffle Scarf

Infinity Strand Scarf

 Here is the the video that I watched to learn how to make these two scarves:

Here is another type of ruffle scarf:

And a simple scarf:

I think this one would be cute with some added embroidery but I haven't done that yet.

The two scarves above I made out of the same old t-shirt. It was pretty simple- here is what you do:

Cut the hem off and then cut as shown above (cutting through both layers at once) to make the simple scarf. No hemming or anything else is necessary. I found this idea in a Family Fun magazine.

With the remainder of the fabric cut out five circles as shown above. Cut each "doughnut" open on one side and then sew all those circles/ "C's" together so that it makes one long ruffly strip. Then you can sew a decorative stitch along the edge if you desire.

I had fun making these scarves- I hope you do too!
