Wrap up in style with a simple sewing project.
| Prep Time: About 1 to 2 hours | |
| What you need: | |
| 7- by 60-inch rectangle of colored fleece
Scraps of fleece in contrasting colors Scissors or pinking shears Needle Embroidery floss in assorted colors | |
| Seasons: Winter | |
| Materials: fleece, needle | |
| Instructions: | |
| 1. |  Have each person choose a motif -- perhaps one shown here
-- or a brand-new design you've thought up together. |
| 2. |  Cut out the shapes you'll need to create it from the scraps
of fleece. For example, a night scene might consist of several
stars and a crescent moon. Or you can use 2 circles for a
snowman's body and head and then add a hat and other
distinguishing details. |
| 3. | Experiment with where to place your cutouts on the scarf (we decorated a 12-inch portion just above a lower edge). Use the needle and floss to attach the pieces with single stitches knotted by hand. One stitch should be enough to hold smaller pieces (such as a flower or snowflake). |
| 4. | Larger pieces (such as the crescent moon) may take 2 or more. Trim the ends above each knot to the length you desire. |
| 5. | Fringed Finale: For fringe, make a series of 4-inch snips in the scarf bottom. Then tie an overhand knot at the top of each strip. |
