Scarves "Upcycled" and DIY Scarves

Fantastic!

This is clearly a way to salvage something from a scarf that has had a disaster and is not "fixable". But even then, boy would I have a hard time putting scissors to that silk!!! They're lovely!

I'm so impressed!! The bird is adorable!! I could never do that to my scarves..I'm a wimp

So we've had a couple threads about ladies using their H in unexpected ways or improvising H items....

LilyHermes makes her own fur scarf collar

Transcendent1 shows us the Kelly strap belt

And the lovely Piaffe makes her own Kelly strap out of a scarf-

So tell us- what have YOU done? Any pics/stories of how you have used your Hermes items in unexpected ways? I love how these looks make our H so much more personal and less "precious".... what about you?

Nobody? I remember someone used a scarf as a clutch strap.... and I know a lot of creative ladies here use Twillies as Evelyne straps.... that's the kind of stuff I'm talking about! Would love to see more pics, great inspiration for getting more use out of our H items.

I'm seriously thinking about using my green Marwari scarf as the backing of a fitted vest. It would be so stunning that I probably won't be able to stop myself. LOL

NICE idea of Miss MaiTai's! That woman is a fashion goddess!

Didn't someone on the forum use "H" ribbon to decorate a corkboard once? That was pretty cool!

my herbag clutch and twilly

A playing card case doubling as a waist pouch. You can thread a scarf through too - or a kelly strap

LOVE THIS THREAD!

karo gm and twilly.

 

[Purse-o-holic]

Great thread. I use my black leather kelly double tour bracelet as a choker....and use my lock to attach the two ends. I'll post pics tonight.

I also shortened the canvas strap on my Kelly, used a twilly and turned it into a "shoulder" Kelly.

Lovely! Keep 'em coming!

Any creative uses for Bolduc? I have a little ribbon tail tied on to my work ID badge so I can pull it out of my purse easily... pics later if I get a chance. I know MargieB does something similar with hers.
