Here are the "How-To's": Recreate this scarf (inspired by this picture in Lucky Mag, it made a great Christmas gift... all for the price of $16)

Go to Jo Ann's or any neighborhood craft store and buy...

1.  Silk fabric (the cheaper the better for you wallet)- 2 yards

2. Gold fringe about 3in long - 1 yard

3. Black thread- 1 spool

8 Step How- To's

1. Fold silk fabric in 1/2 (inside out) and measure to your desired length

2. Cut off excess fabric

3. Fold ends (still in 1/2 and inside out) at a 90' angle until you see a nice diagonal line

4. Iron so line becomes more clear

5. Cut along line and remove excess fabric 

6. Measure fringe to the length of that line on both sides of the scarf (still folded)

7. Place the fringe under the flap and sew scarf along 3 edges leaving a hole to turn inside out

8.Turn inside out and sew up that hole

Vuala!
