7 Cute Ways to Wear a Scarf on a Bag
In this tutorial, I’m going to show you how to wear your silk scarf with your purse.
We all know that scarves look beautiful when worn round the neck and on the head, but here I’ll be showing you how they also look great when tied to a bag. Grab a silk scarf and a bag and let’s get started!
First, fold your scarf into a band. To see how exactly to fold it into a band, check out the video (0:19-0:36).
The first three looks I’m going to show you start with a folded scarf.
1. Regular knot
The most common way to have a scarf on a bag is simply to tie it around one of the bag handles.
You want the knot to look nice and neat.
2. Another knot option
Another way to make a knot is to fire tie a knot in the scarf about ⅓ of the way in.
Then place the scarf around the bag and slide the other end of it through the hole of the knot.
The finished look is very similar to the first style, though the shape of the knot is slightly different.
3. Bow
For the third style, place the scarf around one of the bag handles and tie it into a bow. Pull out either side of the bow to spread them out.
I love how voluminous this bow is.
The second lot of scarf styles involve a fold I call an accordion because it is folded like one in a zig-zag way.
4. Regular accordion knot
Fold the scarf as an accordion and then tie it in the middle to your handbag.
5. Asymmetrical accordion knot
Or you can make one end shorter for an asymmetrical look.
6. Layered accordion
Another way is to make a knot in the middle of the scarf.
Then, place one end of the scarf around a handbag handle and tuck it through the hole of the knot.
This creates a beautiful layered look.
7. The bee
The last type of fold I call ‘the bee.’
For this, you fold the scarf into a triangle, place one end through the middle of the handles and then cross the ends behind one of the handles.
Then bring them around the handle to the front, and cross them again.
Take the fold and put it through the hold, under the large triangle.
Separate the triangle part - ‘the wings of the bee,’ - and tie the short ends in a double knot in between the two layers.
This is a little more tricky to do than the other scarf styles but the end result looks really interesting.

Very classy, thank you!
I've always just done the simple tie on but I'm going to try some of those others. Really pretty!
