I’m so excited to share this quick and easy DIY Infinity Scarf with you today. Seriously, this scarf took less than 5 minutes to make!
I’ve had these red skinny jeans in my closet since November! (I got them during a fabulous sale over the Black Friday weekend.) I’ve been going back and forth on if I should return them or not for several months now. I like the jeans, but they need to be shortened, and I don’t want to do that until I’m certain I’ll keep them. Plus, I’ve been having a very difficult time finding a top to go with them. I’ve tried pairing them with several different tops, and nothing was quite doing it for me.
I really like this little white top I have on in the photos, but it’s a bit sheer to wear alone, (why oh why is it so difficult to find white tops that are not sheer!!) plus the solid white top with the solid jeans was just a little bit blah.
I started thinking about contrasting colors and what I could do to liven up this outfit. I didn’t have any long necklaces that would work, but I have quite a bit of fabric. In fact, I had just picked up this lightweight Ikat print fabric from Hobby Lobby to make a summer dress for my lil’ missy.
I couldn’t find the fabric online to give you a link, but while searching around, I did find some gorgeous Ikat voile from India. I think I am going to take a chance and order a few yards. I’ll let you know how I like it!
(Update: I did not like it. It was thick, rough, and not flowy at all.)
I made the scarf using my Infinity Scarf Tutorial and adjusted the fabric dimensions a tiny bit. The fabric is very lightweight, and I wanted it to be wider than the original directions. (Be sure to check out the original directions here, they are very helpful, especially if you are a beginner.)
The scarf really covered up the sheerness of the top wonderfully, and I love the red and turquoise contrast!
