5 Minute Scarf Refashion for DIY Mothers Day Gift (plus 8 More Ideas)

Hello Friends,Today I have a simple scarf re-fashion that you can make as a Mothe's Day gift or just for yourself. I have to confess, this is not my design I stole it from my nieces who wore theirs to a family gathering. I thought that it was such a lovely idea and I wanted to try it for myself. I really like the asymmetrical way that the scarf hangs when you wear it like a poncho and the versatile way you can still wear it as a scarf. Over the years I have received several of these pretty shawl scarves and I do like wearing them but they are a little difficult to keep on if you are just wearing them as scarves. Converting them to ponchos allows you to wear them without worrying about them falling off your shoulders. So if you are like me and you have a few of these wrap/scarves laying around you may what to convert some of them too.
