My favorite thrift store and flea market scores are vintage scarves. The colors are fun, the patterns are graphic and they never cost too much. Sometimes I’ll come home with a scarf that doesn’t quite fit into my wardrobe, but that I just had to have nonetheless. Luckily, scarves are also great for adding flair to the home! Check out these easy DIY projects and see how you can dress up your decor.
Square scarves practically beg to be turned into pretty pillows, like this one from Design*Sponge. The project does require a bit of sewing, but I think the result is worth the extra effort, don’t you?
If you’re a strictly no-sew crafter (I hear you!), you can still whip up your own vintage scarf table runner in no time. Thank you, fusible bonding tape! Get all the DIY deets on Madigan Made.
Trade in those plain white sheers for some boho brilliance! Just imagine these gauzy vintage scarf curtains billowing in the breeze. Head over to Design*Sponge and learn how to get the look.
Now, that’s a wrap — literally and figuratively! Use a wrap or a vintage scarf as gift wrap with the furoshiki technique. Our own Marianne Canada will show you how in this Weekday Crafternoon.
Pick a scarf with a brilliant pattern or palette and let it stand on its own as art. Design Star contestant Hilari Younger is clearly on board with this idea, as seen here.
