SCARF PENDANTS and SCARF RINGS: DO IT YOURSELF!

Scarf pendants and scarf rings are a creative way to personalize a scarf. And with a little imagination, everyday objects can sometimes become original scarf accessories.

Look around your jewelry box and home for smooth objects with openings large enough for the silk to pass through. The essential rule is to avoid anything sharp, rough, greasy or likely to snag or stain the fabric.

Just think about….

 

Brooches and rings

You probably have brooches or rings in your jewelry box: some you wear, some you don’t wear. Give an unused ring or brooch a second life. Choose a piece that is smooth, with no sharp edges or exposed parts that could damage the silk. Then pull your scarf through the brooch clasp or through the ring and here you are: you have created your first lovely scarf pendant!

Flat washers

DIY and home-improvement stores can also provide unexpected inspiration. A clean, smooth flat washer with rounded edges, for example, can work as a minimalist scarf pendant. Pull your scarf through the loop, make a knot and tie your scarf to the back of your neck. Isn’t it cool?

Bolt snaps

Bolt snaps come in many sizes, materials and colors and are commonly used on bags, straps and key holders. If experimenting with one as a scarf accessory, choose a clean, smooth piece without sharp edges or surfaces that could discolor the silk.

Possibilities are endless. Think about napkin rings, bracelets, antique keys, antique pocket watches etc, etc…. It’s all about imagination, your imagination!
