Creative Scarves by Tiffany Windsor - Book Tour & Blog Hop

So excited for my crafty friend, Tiffany Windsor, and the release of her new book, Creative Scarves that she wrote with her sister, Heidi Borchers and her grand-niece, Savannah Starr!  Creative Scarves will help you make (or make-over) your own gorgeous scarves for every outfit, occasion and season. Add your own personal touch as you sew, stamp, stencil, dye, bead, paint and trim your way to a complete scarf collection. 

Tiffany shares on her blog "What sets a scarf apart as your own fashion statement is the ability to personalize it with your own creative touches. In designing this collection of scarves, I have focused on sharing creative techniques that the beginning hand-crafter can easily follow and that the hands-on craft enthusiast can build upon and personalize for one-of-a-kind results."

Scarves are super trendy right now and living in Florida, I have always thought that they were more for the cold weather than warm.  Boy, was I wrong!  Creative Scarves is filled with ideas not only for Winter and Fall, but also for Spring and Summer!  I love the the concept of organizing the projects by season, then you can create based upon your outfits and the weather!  Brilliant!

Creative Scarves is an all inclusive book, complete with pages of ways to wear your scarves, as well as, step by step tutorials (with photos), so any of the projects are completely doable for any skill level!

I was inspired by the stamped and bleached scarves and decided to create a faux batik scarf with Tombow MONO Aqua Liquid Glue and Tulip One Step Tie Dye kit by I Love To Create.

Wash and dry (no fabric softener or dryer sheets) 100% cotton fabric scarf and press with a hot iron.

Place pressed scarf on non-stock craft sheet and apply glue in pattern desired.  I used a starfish theme.  Let glue dry for several hours, or overnight.

Place scarf on an old towel on cardboard.  Fill Tie Dye bottles with water, according to package directions.  Apply tie dye to scarf. I used blue, green, lime and turquoise.  Let tie dye dry, several hours or overnight.

Wash scarf in washing machine, according to tie dye package directions.  Hand wash out any remaining glue left in fabric with warm water.  

Dry scarf in dryer, then press with hot iron.Use your imagination and create a one of a kind scarf that you can wear and enjoy!   Or give as a gift - HINT - Mother's Day is next month!
