I am talking scarves today, my friends. I have a love affair with them and it was time to update a few to create infinity scarves. I discovered this trick while running out the door so I thought I would share as I have now transformed three or four of my favorite scarves. 
And if you are new around here, you may not have seen that I use baby hangers for my scarves. They keep them wrinkle free and take up far less room. You can even tuck them in an out of the way spot in your closet or hang them over a dresser like I have done. 
I have so many scarves that have nice light and bright colors that work well for warmer months. But when you where them like a traditional scarf, they just seem more “wintery”. We were headed out to dinner the other night and I wanted to wear a scarf as a pop of color but it looked silly with my outfit. So I decided I could do something about it! 
I took one of these scarves {given to me by my friend, Janell} and busted out the glue gun. All in the name of fashion! I literally had only five minutes before we needed to hop in the car so it was the glue gun to the rescue! I simply put a line of glue down one end and pressed the other end of the scarf to it. I chose to leave the fringe alone and when worn like an infinity scarf, it all gets hidden beneath my hair. 
The other day I picked up this scarf on sale at Talbots. {Who knew that had such great scarves?}I fell in love with the colors. But again, I wanted to wear it with shorts and I wanted it to look more like a colorful necklace addition to my outfit rather than a winter scarf. This time I busted out the sewing machine to sew the two ends together. Hello, new infinity scarf. Nice to meet ya! 
And honestly, there is nothing worse than trying to take a self portrait. My hubby wasn’t home to snap one and handing the camera to my seven year old did not yield better results. Here is a choice outtake! I either cut off my legs, head, shorts, or was altogether out of focus. Frustrating to say the least. 
I finally threw down the good camera and picked up the iPhone. Much easier. So if you are trying to do the same, ditch the camera and pick up the phone! 
So that’s my tip on giving some old scarves new life. They look a bit more updated and are so much more versatile this way. Have you transformed any of yours yet?
I use pant hangers from Ikea for my scarves. They work really well, too. This is a great dip. Thanks.
You are welcome. Never thought about the pant hangers. Great tip, too. Thank you.
You are adorable. I am totally in love with scarves too. Great ideas here…the infinity is so much more versatile!
Thanks, friend. Yes. . . small obsession right next to home decor! Thinking of you today!
Baby hangers, Genius! I've used the kids hangers from ikea for little things before. I LOVE using scarves in the summer too, this is so smart and easy!

Yes! I just love the color they add during summer. Glad I am not the only one!
Thank you for the inspiration! I whipped out the sewing machine this morning ans it literally took 1 min to turn it into an infinity scarf!! Ill probably convert all of them now.

That's awesome! I'm so happy you did it and it worked for you. I might convert all of mine, too!
You'd look cute in any photo! Trying this today, the glue while walking out the door is so me, thanks!
You are so sweet. Happy to hear I am not the only glue gun wielding girl in a hurry!
I do this all the time but I tie a tiny knot with the ends instead of sewing so that I can make it a regular scarf again if I want.
Oh, I love it. I couldn't get the knot small enough. You'll have to share your trick.
It only works with my really thin scarves!
great idea, you look great! Self portraits are so hard to take!
Yes, they are no fun to take and I always feel so silly.
You are too cute for words and I love your scarf collection. Still way too hot here for that:( We need to learn how to use the self timer- but I agree, the cell phone camera is the easiest- and it takes pretty good pics!
Ugh. You should have seen it . . I even busted out the tripod and that didn't work. Ugh!
Great inspiration! I have been tempted to do this with some of my old scarves and it looks pretty easy! I've actually made some infinity scarves with the fabric remnant bin at JoAnn (they are 50% off!). Oh, and you are teeny!!! Do you workout? If so, WHAT do you do?
Thanks for the idea…I have so many scarves but my favorite are the infinity scarves….thanks!!!
I love that you busted out the hot glue gun with just 5 minutes to go! Such a great idea. Lookin' good girlie!
Great idea! I have a couple light weight scarfs that I just tie the ends together on to create an infinity scarf. My crinkle one actually looks like a rose where it ties together. And seriously, how cute and skinny are you?!!!
Love an infinity scarf….and you look fabulous!!! 🙂
love this! and love how organized your closet it- mine is a disaster! so you wanna come over?? I'll provide the vino!
I love your chevron scarf! Your whole outfit looks cute!

Love! I think we'll all be stealing this idea cutie pie!
I may just bust out my sewing machine…lots of scarves and I might as well wear them instead of leaving them in the closet. I always find pretty scarves at Talbots and some of them I've had forever!
What a good idea. I always miss my scarves in the summer. So smart!
Nice outfit! I'm only just discovering scaves. Yeah I know where have I been lol. Love this idea. Im definitely getting the sewing machine out. Thanks for sharing.
What a clever idea and you, my dear, are the cutest!! That is a pretty scarf! Vibrant and fun. We lived in NYC for 4 years and I started my little scarf collection buying from the street vendors. Now just need to get my glue gun out tomorrow. Always love your fashion posts and tips Courtney!
I tried to bust out the scarves all summer and hubby finally said that he thought that they looked goofy in the summertime..sigh..what do men know?
I am such a scarf girl, but never wear them in the summer. This post made my day! I am getting on this project tomorrow! Thanks, Courtney!
Such a great idea! I'm totally converting mine over. Thanks for the inspriation Courtney!
Thanks so much for sharing this fabulous idea. I can't wait to transform some of my scarves. Thanks for the inspiration.
I've been sewing my regular scarves into infinity ones for a while now, I really love how much more manageable they are to wear this way. You can't possibly make an awkward selfish btw.
I will be doing this with my scarves! I definitely prefer the infinity look. I agree that it looks less wintery that way. Usually, I try to tie the ends together and then hide the knot. It doesn't always work that well. Looks like I need to get out my sewing machine 🙂
This is such a great idea and you look so cute! Love that floral scarf, may have to hit up Talbots:)
Such a great idea! I really want some more bright scarves for the warmer months. I miss them when it's not winter!
Love the length of your scarf. Can you tell me the length and width of the original scarf?
Love the look! Can you tell me what size of the original scarf? Your finished size looks perfect!
I love your post! Question… how do you get your scarves to sort of twist which makes them not as bulky?
This is really awesome. Never thought of doing that to our scarfs. Thanks for the tip!
This is so cute and you look lovely! 🙂 I normally don't like those types of prints, but I LOVE this one! Thanks for the tutorial!
