This DIY magic trick creates two homemade dresses out of old scarves. With minimal money and materials, this new reversible outfit only needs two silk scarves, a belt and the ability to tie knots.
To make, place one scarf in front and one behind, tying them in a knot above each shoulder. Next, layer the sides of one scarf under the next to avoid any embarrassing wardrobe malfunctions. Finally, grab a belt and tie it around the waist to keep the dress together.
Sported by fashion blogger Leandra Medine, this outfit is both functional and fashionable. Depending on the scarves, the silky texture gives these homemade dresses the appearance of designer brand quality, instead of a Cinderella Halloween costume. This DIY project is perfect for the lazy fashionista who needs to deal with the heat, wait for her laundry or pack light for a trip.
