After walking in the rain to class today in a tank-top and jeans it hit me... IT'S SCARF SEASON AGAIN!!!
I wanted one that was : ombre, braided, small, slightly thin ( to show off my necklaces), oh yeah... and all under $10.00. Needless to say, that -ish doesn't exist! So I did what I do best... I ran down to Joanne's fabrics and grabbed some fabric remnants that was conveniently 50% off. I Took my bucket from under the sink and dumped my left over RIT dye in with some warm water and got to work.
I first wrapped a rubber band around 3 pieces of white fabric and dipped 1/2 of it into the bucket of dye. After 5 minutes of sitting, I pulled the fabric out of the water a little and added more dye to sit for another 5 minutes. After I got the color I wanted, I hung it to dry.
Once dry, I took those pieces along with the grey fabric and cut them into strips and braided them.
By attaching the ends and then sewing the 3 rows together I got this :
Last but not least, I sewed the inner side to the outer side to create a thick, rolled, braided effect.
The end result was exactly what I wanted!! Its thick enough to look like an infinity scarf, but short enough to not hide any of my necklaces I want to pair it with.
LOVE IT!
