22 Ways to Make a Boring Bag Exciting Using Only a Scarf.

Well, with all my clothes being packed up right now, I have very few blog-worthy outfits. Actually none. So I found this boring bag in my room (actually in a "get-rid-of" pile) and a scarf and knew I could make some magic happen.

So here are 22 ways to dress up a boring bag with a scarf (and a pin in one):

Bag Before:

This is a little denim bag I got in jr. high. Cute, but boring.

Scarf Before:

This is a scarf from my mom's closet. I wore it once, but I dont really like scarves...

#1: The Strap Tie


Tie the sarf on the side of the shoulder strap.



#2: The Strap Bow

Tie the scarf in a bow on the side of the shoulder strap.

#3: The Strap Lace-Up

Lace the scarf around the strap and tie a know on the shoulder.

#4: The Shoulder Knot

Wrap the scarf around the top of the shoulder strap and tie a know on the shoulder.

#5: The Replacement Strap

Ite the ends of the scarf at the each side of the strap and tuck the original strap inside the bag.

#6: The Stap Cover

Same as the Replacement Strap, but leave original strap out.

#7: The Wrap Strap

Tie one end of the scarf to one side of the strap and wrap the scarf around the strap, completely covering it, and tie the other end of the scarf to the other side of the strap.

#8: The Cross Section

Tie one end of the scarf to one end of the strap, wrap scarf around the body of the bag diagonally and tie other end of the scarf to the same side of the strap.

#9: The Almost Cross Section

Like the Cross Section, but you tie the other end of the scarf to the other side of the strap instead of the same one.

#10: The Hanging Out

Like the Replacement strap, except you leave the strap out, and let the scarf hang.

#11: The Loop

Like the Hanging Out except you make a loop and pin it with a brooch or pin.

#12: The Hanging Knot

Like the Hanging Out, except you tie a knot in the scarf.

#13: The Hanging Bow

Like the Hanging Out, except you tie a bow in the scarf.





#14: The Pocket Bow

Tie a bow in the scarf and tuck one end in each side pocket. (If no side pocket, then pin to each side of the bag)

#15: The Double Pocket Knot

Tie two knots in the scarf and tuck either end of the scarf in a side pocket leaving the know hanging out. (If no side pockets, then pin to bag.)

#16: the Pocket Tuck

Tuck the scarf into a pocket leaving the ends sticking out.

#17: The Single Pocket Knot

Fold the scarf in half and tie a knot in it. Tuck the scarf into the pocket leaving the knot and ends hanging out.

#18: The Zipper Knot

Pull the scarf through the zipper of the bag or pocket in the bag and tie a knot. (If the scarf doesn't fit through the zipper, try adding a key ring to the zipper.)

#19: The Zipper Triple Knot

Like the Zipper Knot, except tie three knots in the scarf.

#20: The Zipper Low-Bow

Like the Zipper Knot, except tie a bow low on the scarf.

#21: The Zipper Bow

Like the Zipper Knot, except tie a bow at the top of the scarf.

#22: The Knot-y Zipper

Like the Zipper Knot, except tie knots until you run out of scarf.

Well there you have it! 22 ways to dress up a boring bag with a scarf. I know there are probably a bunch more, but this is what I came up with. If you have other ideas, I would love to see them! :)
