Scarf'in a GIVEAWAY



My hair's a little crazy today.

Happy Tuesday, everyone. Today, I fulfilled something on my Pinterest bucket list, the yarn scarf! I tried to recreate what I saw on the Pin, but put my own twist on it.

Today marks my first ever GIVEAWAY! That's right, you could win a custom yarn scarf of your own, delivered directly to your hand (or house.) All you have to do is comment on this post, and tell me your favorite Real Housewife (any season) and why. I will randomly choose a commenter a week from today.

Making the Scarf:
So I started with my super cheap supplies:

Mmm. Orange.

I lined up two of my chairs, and tied my ribbon around and secured it with a double knot. Then, I wrapped. And wrapped.

And wrapped.

I used about 3/4 of my yarn I had. I just kept going until I got a thickness that I liked. I finished this by tying the end to my beginning knot.

After freeing my chairs, I gave the yarn a quick twist and made it into a triangle.

Twisted.

At each of the corners, I tied it off with a little bit of yarn.

I call this color, Neon Celadon.

Trim off the ends of your knot. Then, I started wrapping. And wrapping.

And Wrapped.

I did this to all three corners of my triangle. I didn't really care if they were super even, I wanted one to be dramatically longer than the others (for effect.) At the end, I put a little dab of hot glue and wrapped the last little bit around the glue to secure it.

And the finished product!



Don't forget to comment for your chance to win your own yarn scarf! Just tell me your favorite Bravo Real Housewife, and why. Why Real Housewife? Don't watch Real Housewives, you should (it's a real self-confidence booster.) Don't have Bravo, but you really wish you did so you could watch Real Housewives? Tell me your favorite NBA Basketball Team.


Bella's favorite Housewife is Camile Grammar.
Why? She's a fellow blonde that likes to dance.

  1. I love this scarf!! I'm thinking about doing it in hot pink and white (my fav jacket is black). My fav housewife is definitely Nene because she is too funny! I love how she tells it like it is and doesn't have to be a size 0 to do so! :)
