SOS ~ help I need a cool but warm clothing accessory.

Oh this is perfect for today!! I stayed home from school today~

Cheer for snow days! It is -50 with the wind chill.... burr....

Wow~ you know I have something that you will just be amazed

at how much fun this scarf is to make! My Mom's friend Jean is a

fiber artist! How cool is that!

My friends Fashion Nerd and Artist World came over last night

to join my mom, Jean, and myself on a fiber art adventure!

We learned how to make a scarf by weaving and then personalizing

it with my favorite bling!!! Oh Ya... Cool right... I know!

You will need yarn, if you don't have yarn a too small sweater,

or second hand sweater find will work.

You just unravel it like this:

Now you need cardboard or a clip board, scissors, a tapestry needle,

feathers, fancy yarns, ribbon, or any thing that blings!

Now with your yarn measure how long you want your scarf and cut five

strands to this length. Then leaving some end for dangle.... clip end into

clip board like so:

OK, so now keep the five strands separated, wrap at angle

 around clip board like so, then tape the end to the board.

Here is mine brown yarn, my moms blue yarn.

Front:



Back of clipboard:

Take your needle and thread it with contrasting color yarn.

Now weave it under, over, under , over, under, until making

sure when you finish the last string you start the next one following

pattern so that you don't do unravel it. You do this over and

over until you get to the end of your length. You can change

different colors like we did until you get to the end.

 Now wrap the end around the fringe (dangly part) and tie in knots.

Guess what is next?? Ya Right add the bling!!! You can add feather,

fancy yarn, ribbons, just bling away!! Cool right?
