How to Turn an old scarf into a halter top

Nothing to wear but have an old scarf hanging around? No problem! In a few easy steps you can transform that boring scarf into a cute, summery halter top!

You Will Need

• A long rectangular scarf or lightweight pashmina, approximately 63 inches long and 16 inches wide.

Step 1: Get a rectangular scarf

Put on stick-on bra cups if you have them. Get a long, rectangular scarf and hang it around your neck so that the ends hang evenly in front.

Step 2: Crisscross it

Crisscross it in front of you, spreading each side to cover a breast.

Use double-sided tape in the front for extra security.

Step 3: Tie it

Tie the scarf at your lower back. If there's a lot of material hanging down, bring it back to the front and make a bow there.

Did you know? The halter-top design, which first appeared as an evening gown neckline in the 1930s, become a popular style of bathing suit top in the 1940s.
