DIY Scarf Embellishment Tutorial

How to embellish a scarf to give it a festive look.

My daughter is part of her school choir again this year. They were asked to wear something red and green during their performances. Gabrielle had a simple red scarf that she received as a gift from Santa last year. I figured if I jazzed it up a little bit with some green, it would be perfect to wear during the performances.

DIY Scarf Embellishment

Supplies:

• Scarf
• Sequin trim
• Fabric Glue
• Scissors
• Ruler (optional)
• Chalk (optional)

Instructions:

Step 1: Place the sequin trim onto the scarf and decide how you want to place it on the scarf.

Do you want only one stripe or multiple stripes? This is the time to figure out the pattern/look you want.

Step 2: Once you have decided how many stripes you want, cut the sequin trim the length you need for each stripe.

Step 3: Apply fabric glue onto the scarf to adhere the first sequin trim stripe.

Step 4: Once the first stripe is glued onto the scarf, you can use a ruler and chalk to create lines for your next stripes.

Note that you could have done this for the first stripe too, but I didn’t because the scarf wasn’t completely straight.

Apply fabric glue onto the chalk line and adhere the sequin trim.

 And voilà, you know have an embellished scarf!

What do you think? Doesn’t it look great?

I love that it has a festive look to it. I’ll make sure to share photos of Gabrielle wearing it as soon as I can. 

Have a FABULOUS day!
