How to Turn a Silk Scarf Into a Maxi Skirt
Do you have a special occasion that is calling for a maxi skirt, but you don’t have one in your closet?
Try this clever DIY maxi skirt that you can fashion from one large scarf, without sacrificing your scarf!
Tools and materials:
- Large scarf (equal to length you want your skirt)
- Large hair elastic
1. Wrap your scarf
Wrap your large scarf around your waist from the back to the front.
2. Pleat the front
Holding the front top corners together, fold the fabric from the front of your skirt back and forth, like a fan, until you’ve fanned all of the excess front fabric.
3. Secure the top front
Gather the top of the pleated front into a ball, and use a thick hair elastic to secure the ball.
4. Fan out the ball
Gently pull the edges of the ball to fan it out so it looks like a large flower.
