Holiday Ruffle Scarf TUTORIAL!

Next, scrunch the ribbon together by holding one of the threads on the end of the ribbon and pushing the ribbon down. Ruffle the ribbons to be the same width as your beach towel. Fold your beach towel in half, and pin your ruffles about 4” and 6” from the folded edge of the towel. This will end up being on the bottom part of your bag.
Now, sew your ruffles onto your beach towel.
Now, take the hand towel and fold it in half (hamburger way). Then sew 1 line right down the center to create 2 pockets.
Pin the hand towel to the inside of the beach towel. Sew along the side edges, and the bottom piece to create 1 large pocket and then the 2 smaller pockets in the front. This will be a pocket that will be in the inside of your bag!
Next, create ruffles with the thin ribbon. Sew it to the bottom of the small wash cloth.
Pin the wash cloth to the front of the towel, a few inches above the wide ruffles. Sew the 2 sides and bottom of the wash cloth to create an outer pocket.
Lay the beach towel out and take the thick ribbon and lay it out on the edge of the towel. Fold the towel over and pin it so that it is wide enough to go over the ribbon. Take the ribbon out. Do this on both sides of the towel. These will be your straps. The bag will cinch on the sides.
Sew the sides that are pinned.
Melt the edges of your ribbon so that they don’t fray and put a safety pin on the end and feed it through the sides of the towel. Do this on each side.
Pull the ribbon and tie it together in a bow. Tie the two front pieces together and the two back pieces together. These will make your front and back straps.
Here are my inside pockets! I put the smaller items in the small compartments, and my book in the bigger compartment.
This is my outside pocket. Full of the things that I will need to find at a moment’s notice! Like my keys and phone!
Currently, my headband holder is competing with other crafts to win the Craft under $5 Challenge with Studio 5! If you are in Utah (or parts of Idaho) tune in and see mine featured for a split second I am sure! Let’s hope I get in the finals to win!
Now this is what my frame looks like! I need to glam it up though! You can leave it like this if you want, but I had to accessorize!
I made 2 rolled fabric flowers. If you don’t know how to make these, there is a pretty helpful tutorial made by Me and My Brightsides, here.
And I embellished my flower, and arranged them on my frame. I just used hot glue again, and put them all on my frame like so.
I create a lot of “Hippie Headbands” and there really isn’t any way to store them unless you stuff them into a box and then they get squished! So I decided I would hang them up with clothes pins. I made 3 lined clothes pins for my frame. I cut out ribbon that would go around one side of each clothes pin.
Then I hot glued the ribbon to the clothes pin and folded the ribbon over and glued it too so you couldn’t see the unfinished edges of the ribbon.
Now I have 3 super cute clothes pins!
I attached my clothes pins and now I am done! But I seem to be missing something…
My hair accessories! I love this because I can also comb my combs onto the ribbon because the ribbon is horizontal. I clipped my hippie headbands on my clothes pins, clipped my regular clips on the ribbon, and put my headbands over the ribbons! Now all of my feathers won’t get ruined!
I hope you enjoyed this tutorial as much as I enjoyed making this project! Look for more tutorials coming your way and don’t forget to check out my hair accessories so that you can fill up your new Headband and Accessory Holder!
I took myself to Kneader’s Bakery & Cafe. It is right down the street from me now that I am in SLC. I thought I would give it a try. It was DELICIOUS!
{I got a classic turkey sandwich on asiago cheese bread}
I really think it is the best sandwich I have ever had! I had to get a treat too of course, so I got a fruit tart. If it has fruit on it, it is still healthy right?
I love going to D.I. and finding all sorts of treasures. Now that I am in SLC there are many more D.I.’s to choose from. I did a little Mapquesting and found 2 of them pretty close to me!The first D.I. that I hit was pretty small, but I did find 2 little picture frames that I have plans for. I went to the next D.I. that was MUCH bigger! I found the perfect picture frame for a project I have been wanting to do. It is pretty big and very ugly! It didn’t have a price on it, so I took it up to the front, and they gave it to me for $1! I was so excited! There will be pictures coming soon of my creation process!
I then went to Ross and found a few other treasures! I had a great day date with myself! This glam girl is taking herself on dates more often!
