Wear Your Scarves With Style - Try a Scarf Ring!

In the previous post, we demonstrated Five Simple Ways to Wear a Scarf.  They are the five most basic ways you'll see again and again all over the world.

But maybe you want to do something MORE with your scarves!  Then the scarf ring might be just for you.  It looks like a slightly over-sized life saver candy.  It's made of plastic, and very smooth so as not to snag any of your scarves.  

The Scarf Ring

This simple little thing is just $5, and can have all your friends jealous with the pretty ways it will look.  Now you know exactly what to get them for Christmas!

Step 1: Open the scarf so it's wide, and wrap it around your shoulders.  Make sure the ends match up.  Grab each side of the inside edge of the scarf.


Step 2: Take a small amount of the fabric between your fingers, and make little points on each side.  Place them next to each other in one hand.  The technical jargon for these are "pointy dudes."


Step 3: Place the pointy dudes through the center of the scarf ring.


Step 4: Pull both pointy dudes through the scarf ring until you can feel that the tension will hold it firmly in place.  Not all scarves are the same thickness.  A very sheer chiffon scarf will pull much more through the opening.  A thicker weight won't pull as much.



Step 5: Fluff up the two ends so they are full and flower-like.  It will make a little rosette!  You can stop here, and wear your scarf just like this, with the rosette in the center.



Step 6:  Or, you can move the rosette over to one side for an assymetrical look that is very stylish.




Now you have your shoulders covered, and your hands are still free!  It's quite an elegant look.  

Step 7: For an especially elegant and artistic look, put the rosette in the center of your back...




...and then pull the scarf forward to make a cowl-neck drape in the front, like this:




Over a solid color dress or outfit of simple fabric and design, this magically turns it into wearable art.

We hope you enjoy this simple, yet stylish, way to wear your scarves!
