No-Sew Scarf

This is a great activity for young children and teens and costs little to make especially if you run into a good sale on fleece. I love these scarves because they are light weight, warm, and less bulky than many other scarves.

  • Find some nice fleece and purchase a piece as long as you want your scarves to be--at least one yard up to two yards.
  • Cut a length of fleece as wide as you would like your scarf to be--10-16". You may want to trim off the selvaged edge.
  • Decide how long you would like the fringe to be (5-8") and begin to cut 1/2" wide strips in each end of the scarf. To make this easier for kids, you may want to purchase a pen with disappearing ink (available at fabric stores) and mark the lines for them to cut.
  • For added fringing, I take bright colored yarn and tie strips to each piece of fleece fringe.
  • You can also add beads to the fringe or know the fringe near the scarf to add to the design.

Fleece is usually 50-60 inches wide so there is enough to make 4-5 scarves. Make some for gifts and keep one for yourself!

Have you made any other fleece projects?
