If you're looking for a fun weekend project, this DIY accessory tutorial is a simple, quick and fool-proof way to upcycle a favorite fall scarf into a nifty watch.
A creative mix between a timepiece and a bracelet, this DIY scarf watch is a creative take on the average clock. To create this super chic DIY accessory, take an unused -- but thin --scarf and a watch that has a removable strap. After removing the strap from the watch face, you can thread the scarf through the metallic strap loops underneath the watch face. The scarf then acts as a malleable strap that will fit any sized wrist. You can wrap this scarf watch several times around your wrist, knot it or even create a creative twist design.
