Today we’ve got a seriously easy, no-sew DIY for you — how to use a scarf as a purse strap! I know here in the scarf office we always repeat ourselves over and over that there are pretty much a gazillion ways to use scarves, but seriously… there are. ;)
What you need to make a scarf purse strap:
♥Handbag. We used this yellow Nila Anthony handbag from HandbagHeaven.com. You can always use a purse with a broken strap to give it a second life. :)
♥Scarf. We used a leopard print scarf.
Step 1: (There’s actually only one step. :)) All you need to do is thread the ends of your scarf through the metal pieces on the side of your handbag and tie a knot. You can always tie a double knot if the items in your purse are heavier, but we found that it was pretty sturdy with just one tight knot.
And that’s it! Go spice up an old purse or add some strap length to a purse you already own! :)
Brilliant!! But I feel kind of silly for not thinking of this before. Oh, the possibilities!! :)
WOW .. Great idea to use a scarf …. thank you for sharing

I did something similar only I knotted the fringed ends together after passing the scarf through both rings on the purse.
That’s a great way to keep it looking clean! Thank you for sharing :)
