I always seem to acquire an abundance of scarves every year. I get winter scarves as gifts and I love picking up silk and vintage scarves during my thrifting adventures. Eventually, they all start to pile up and I need to make something with them. Here are five crafty ways to repurpose those scarves that you’ve been collecting over the years.
1. Scarf Quilt
This scarf quilt project from Martha Stewart would be the perfect way to keep all of the warm scarves you’ve received and repurpose them into a cozy blanket that you’d be sure to use during the winter months.
2. Silk Scarf Pillows
Once again, Martha shows us how to make pillows from silk scarves. The prints and patterns on a lot of vintage scarves would look fantastic as throw pillows.
3. Scarf Hat
Make It and Love it repurposes a warm scarf into a winter hat. The ease of this project allows you to take all of your scarves and makes hats for the whole family!
4. Knotted Silk Scarf Bags
Here, from Martha Stewart again, are three different ways you can knot a silk scarf to create different kinds of bags. I especially love the use of bracelets in the first tutorial.
5. iPod Case
Finally, there is a great project on Cut Out + Keep showing you how to make a cozy ipod case. These iPod cases would make great stocking stuffers and the possibilities of patterns and colors are endless.
Dig out those old scarves and whip up any one of these fantastic projects! Do you have any scarf projects that you would like to share? I would love to hear about them. Feel free to leave some ideas in the comments.
