Ever since I came across button shawl, it gave me a lot of
inspiration especially on how we could reuse back old shawl to create many
different ways to wear them!
By just using an old shawl, four buttons, and a couple of
brooches – I could create 31 different ways to wear them for a month!
Here’s how to create your own button shawl:
Get an old shawl (any design will do – with frills or without) or cloth that has a width of 145cm and length of 55cm (you can opt for something wider/longer depending on your body size). And if your shawl/cloth is too long or wide simply cut it off and sew back the seams with a sewing machine.
Next, sew in the buttons as shown on picture. Space at least
6.5cm between the buttons. To make button holes, fold it to half and use a
chalk to mark where the button holes should be (as shown on pic). Then, use a
scissors to cut the button holes.
