Easy DIY Polka Dot Scarf Tutorial
Materials: solid color scarf fabric paint pencil with unused eraser ruler
Instructions:
1. Lay scarf flat on protected surface (you don’t want to get paint on your table or countertop so cover it with paper or cardboard).
2. Gently dip the eraser end of pencil in fabric paint. Stamp scarf in even pattern using ruler as a guide.
3. Re-coat pencil eraser after every stamp. Be careful not to get too much paint or else it will glop around the edges.
4. Cover scarf with dots. Make the pattern as dense or open as you wish. Allow paint to dry.
5. Set paint according to manufacturer’s instructions.
Option 1: Carve the pencil eraser into a heart stamp.
Option 2: Try overlapping lots of dots at the ends of the scarf and scattering them loosely towards the center.
