If you’ve ever needed a summer bag in a hurry to match an outfit, this is for you!


I love to have a selection of square silk scarves in my closet in lots of different colorways.


Today, I’m going to show you how to turn any scarf into a bag in 10 seconds flat. And you don’t need anything else at all.

Tools and materials: 

Silk scarf

1. The scarf

For best results, your scarf should be at least 18 inches (45 cm) square. It can be as large as you like.


I love to use silk but any fabric will work as long as it’s not too bulky.

2. The first diagonal
