- Using fabric paint to embellish a plain scarf is a fun and easy craft for children to make. Make sure that the material used to paint on is a light color and is not already patterned. The fabric paint can be applied with a brush, your child’s hands or even potatoes that are pre-cut into geometric shapes. Your child can get creative painting a colorful scarf with shapes, lines, pretty pictures and writing if desired. Follow the instructions on the fabric paint to set the painted design when finished.
- Cute scarves can be simply fashioned by recycling old clothes. Old T-shirts or fleeces can be transformed and given a new lease of life as a stylish scarf for your child to wear or give away as a personal handmade gift. Your child can create a new scarf by cutting up old or unworn clothing into a scarf design. Assist your child if sewing is required, for example to make ruffles or add extra details such as pom-poms, pockets or decoration.
- An animal scarf is a cute, cheerful and unique idea that is suitable for kids to create themselves. There are lots of animal scarf designs to choose from, and the chosen design will depend on your child’s personal preference. Children can make a scarf into a cat, dog, snake, shark or whatever animal they wish. Use fleece to make the basic scarf and then assist your child in sewing or gluing on the features of the animal. Use buttons, felt, faux fur or other suitable materials to create the features.
- A handmade festive scarf is an adorable accessory for kids to make that will keep them cozy and warm during the winter months and festive season. Use a thick but versatile material, such as fleece, that will ensure your child is wrapped up warmly. Choose a festive design to embellish a plain scarf, for example a jolly Santa or snowman. Cut the desired design from different colors of material, such as felt or fleece, and glue or sew onto the scarf to create the colorful festive shapes and characters.
