Like the other gals of Scarves.net, I am obsessed with Pinterest! I can’t tell you how many recipes I’ve whipped up, crafts I’ve made, and pictures of cats I’ve pinned. So when I saw this DIY scarf tutorial, I knew I had to do it!
the inspiration
Gather your supplies:
- light colored scarf – I used this scarf.
- fabric marker
- cardboard to place the scarf on. no messes here!
- quotes!
I got a list of my favorite Andy Warhol quotes and began. I started writing (in my best Julia Warhola script) around the edges of the scarf and worked my way in.
The scarf I used was on the crinkly side, which made it a little harder to write on, but not impossible. I didn’t sketch out my letters or anything fancy, I just got to writing!
A few hours later (it took a little longer than I expected, I blame the crinkles.) I was finished, and my scarf was ready to wear!
I even took it out and about on the town:
I’m so happy with how it turned out! My text isn’t as big as the text in the inspiration, but I got to fit in more quotes. I’ll definitely be sure to wear this next time I’m at The Warhol in Pittsburgh.
AWESOME Maggie!
Thanks, Stacie!!
this is awesome! MUST DO!
So cute! I totally want to make one.
Thanks guys! Ginelle and Jeanne, you should totally make one! Easiest DIY ever
What is the best uncrinkled scarf to use?
There are several! This gold pashmina would be perfect for this DIY:
Windsor Pashmina
Thanks for posting about how you made this. I saw the post on pinterest and looks fun to do. I like the tip a fabric pen. Great idea. One could really personalize it with names and events shared.
I had fun with this!! Thank you!! Sharpie makes chunkier markers for wider prints to ultra fine and colors to play with also!!!
