A colorful scarf can make the dullest of shirts or coats look awesome. At the same time, it can also protect you from the chilling breeze of winters as well as searing winds of summer.

Another positive point of scarves is that they can be made easily at home, without spending too much money. Read on further and get some great tips for making scarf at home.
How to Make a Scarf
Items Needed
- Colorful Fabric
- Needle
- Thread
- Fabric Marking Pen
- Yardstick or Ruler
- Dressmaker Shears
Steps
- First of all, you need to decide on the length and breadth of your scarf.
- While arriving on the resultant dimensions of fabric that you need to buy, make sure to keep a few centimeters extra, for hemming purposes.
- In case you want to add fringe to your scarf, make sure that the length of the fabric is 6 inches extra than what you desire for the scarf.
- Next, you need to go to the market and buy a piece of colorful felt, for the purpose of making a scarf.
- Bring back the fabric and using thread of the same color as the fabric, hem its sides.
- In case you do not want to add fringe, your scarf is ready.
- If you want to add fringe to the scarf, mark the fabric, at a distance of about 3 inches, on either sides.
- Using yardstick or ruler and fabric marking pen, draw a series of horizontal lines, ¼ inch apart, between the marked lines and the outer end of the fabric.
- With the help of dressmaker shears, cut along each of the horizontal lines.
- Hem the other two sides of the fabric.
- Your scarf is ready!
