How-To Tuesday

How To:

Tie A Messy Scarf

(one of the million ways)




So, my sister-in-law Allison always tells me that i need to teach a class on tying scarfs. I don't know. But I thought I would share with my friends here how I like to tie a really long scarf in a messy little bundle. I'm sure there is a technical name for this, or maybe a way simpler way to do it. But anyhoo, here it is! my very first tutorial! :-)



Step 1: wrap scarf around your neck once, making one end a little longer than the other.






Step 2: take one corner of long end of scarf and wrap it around, spreading it out as your wrap it around your shoulder...



......



Step 3: Tuck the end you just wrapped around underneath so it is not laying on top of the loop.



...Now it should look like this...with one end still a little longer than the other. Now your scarf should be wrapped around your neck twice.





Step 4: Now take the longer end, tuck it underneath the lowest loop and back through, poking out just a little bit, so the corners are peeking out from in between the two loops.




Voila! (creepy "a-ok" face optional)



I would love to say that I will do a "How-To" every Tuesday, but I'll have to figure out if i know how to do that many things :-) We'll see if this one catches on first!
Have a splendiferous Tuesday my lovelies.
