Gift Idea: A Simple DIY Scarf

I created this super simple DIY scarf, inspired by a scarf in Elsie's closet from a past season. This scarf is great for adding a pop of color to a neutral outfit. I think these would make great gifts for all my girlfriends. The best part is, this project only took about 30 minutes to make! 
1. Supplies: 2 yards gauze fabric, lace trim, sewing pins, scissors, sewing machine. 2. Begin by cutting the fabric 3 x 1 ft. 3. Pin the lace trim to the edge of the fabric and top stitch it with the sewing machine. 4. Finish by adding more trim to throughout the scarf to give it a more layered, accessorized look!

Have a great week! Kinsey
