Scarves and shawls can be used in many ways, in addition to the well-known, that is, to protect us from the cold.
Scarves and shawls: Alternative ways to use them
Everyone has a few scarves and shawls for the cold winter days and usually most have more than what they use in their daily lives. If you are in this category and are looking for alternative ways to use them, we have some great ideas for you.
Make garlands for a party
Join scarves and shawls together and decorate your home by making large garlands. Hang the garlands on the wall. If your scarves are made of wool, you will give a more winter touch to your party. Silk scarves, on the other hand, are more suitable for autumn or spring parties.
Make a virtual headboard
There are many ways to use your scarves as a headboard. You can hang 6 or 8 scarves in a row to create a virtual headboard.
Another idea is to use a large scarf to dress your headboard from the front.
Put on pillows
Using two beautiful vintage scarves you can dress a pillow for your living room or bedroom. The result will reward you and in addition you will have made a pillow that will be your own creation.
Put on your chairs
In decorating your chairs you still have several options. You can use similar scarves (if you have enough in the same style) to wear them on the back. Sew the scarves on the back of the chair and let their fringes hang for extra style points.
Another solution is to tie your scarves in different ways to each chair, when you are waiting for people, for an extra decorative touch.
Also you can just throw a scarf on your chair, as in the picture below, to give it a more winter look.
Make a quilt
If you have a large variety of scarves and shawls and you are sad to see them hanging in your closet, then take advantage of them by making a large quilt. Join similar pieces together or completely different for an even more special result.
Make curtains
Another great idea is to create curtains. Join your favorite scarves together and make a large curtain for the bedroom or a smaller one for the kitchen.
Dress your jars
If you are planning to organize a table for friends or relatives and you want to give it a winter look, you can dress the vases that you will place on your table with a scarf. The result will look more cozy and your friends will praise you for your awesome idea.
Wall decoration
Are you proud of a special scarf that you have in your collection? Make the artwork for your wall by adding a picture frame. This decoration will fit nicely in your bedroom just above the space with your cosmetics.
