How to Make This Daring Top From a Scarf

A large scarf and a bangle are all you need for a new, stylish DIY scarf top.


The scarf should be long enough to wrap around you twice and double the depth from your underarms to the top of your hips.


It takes just a couple of minutes to make this daring top, so watch carefully!

Tools and materials: 

  • Large rectangular scarf
  • Bangle or large curtain ring

1. Fold the scarf

Fold the scarf in half lengthways for a little extra structure, to make it easier to work with.

2. First wrap

With the folded edge uppermost, take the scarf behind your back and bring the ends forward under your arms.

Keep the scarf taut while you do this.

3. Attach the ring

Gather the scarf close to your body with one hand and hold the bangle or ring in the other.

Pass both ends of the scarf through the ring and pull them firmly straight out in opposite directions.

4. Second wrap

Still keeping the scarf taut, take one end up towards your shoulder and the other down to the opposite hip.

Pull both ends behind your back and knot them securely together.

5. Cap sleeve

You can wear the top just as it is, with a single strap over one shoulder.


For an extra touch of style, pull the edge of the shoulder piece down over your upper arm.

I think it looks even sexier this way.


If the front is a bit too open and daring for you, you can use a smaller ring and adjust the scarf for more coverage.

It’s best not to use a very slippery scarf for this.
