Yes, I always look crabby in pics where I don’t smile. It’s a curse I tell you! |
Alright, I already admitted I have a thing for scarves and boots. I posted a pic last week of me in my “fall attire”, boots, and scarf. Because I have a thing for scarves, I have a bunch, too many in my hubby’s opinion. But what does his opinion on scarves matter anyway?
So I was at Jo-Ann’s this past week picking up some ribbon for a future blog posting about leg warmers when I came across these really cute jersey knit scarves that had scarf rings on them. They were what you would call infinity scarves, and they already had the scarf rings attached. See, what you do is purchase the scarf and then buy the “bling” as extra. You can change the bling out, and well that got me to thinking…why buy another scarf to take up more room in the closet when I could make my own bling scarf with the stuff I already had at home?
An idea was born.
I didn’t have any scarf rings at home that were large enough for a scarf to manageably fit through it, so I did have to purchase some…okay, I cheated and just bought some jewelry charms. They were large enough and fit the bill, they were also 40% off. I think I picked them up for about $2.50, and eight came with the package. Plenty enough for me! The next purchase was the actual scarf ring that had the clip on the bottom to attach the bling to them. Those were a little bit more at $3.60 for two. Later when I got home I did some online searching and found Amazon carried them and so did Esty. Here’s the link for a 12 piece set, and another to the 18 piece set. I ordered both of these for future scarf blinging. Yeah, I said blinging. lol
Anyway, it’s super easy to make your own. Just a few steps really. The most difficult part was making the decision on how many rings to put on the scarf itself!
Step one:
Slide rings onto your favorite scarf.
This is beautiful!!!
