DIY Scarf Purse

Craft by Orly Shani

Materials:

• 2 Scarves
• Chain
• Sewing Machine
• Thread
• Chinese Silk (optional)

Directions:

• Lay two scarves face-to-face and cut to the same shape and size (a tapered square or rectangle)
• Sew the sides and bottom together with a ¼-inch seam allowance.
• Next fold over a 1″ hem on the top for a clean finish.
• Hand sew your chain on to each side to create your straps.
• If your scarf is extra delicate then you will want to line it. Buy ½ yard of Chinese silk in your desired color. Cut the liner the same size as your scarves. Sew it the same as your scarf but this time you will use a ¼” seam allowance so it is just slightly smaller than your bag. You will fit it inside your bag and then sew the top down as one piece.
