So, I saw this trend going around, and I thought, why not give it a shot? It’s all about tying a scarf on your Birkin bag. Sounds simple enough, right? Well, let me tell you, it’s a bit more involved than you’d think.
First off, I picked out a scarf. This was fun. I have a ton of scarves, but I wanted one that really complemented my bag. I went with a silk one with some nice, vibrant colors. I laid it out flat on the table – that’s step one.
Then, I started folding. Now, there are a bunch of ways to do this, but I opted for the classic triangle fold. Folded it in half diagonally, making sure the corners lined up perfectly. You gotta get this part right, or the whole thing looks wonky.
Next, I rolled it up. I started from the long edge, rolling it tightly towards the point of the triangle. I had to keep it really snug so it wouldn’t unravel later. This part was a little tricky; my fingers felt clumsy, but I got there in the end.
Once it was all rolled up, I moved on to the bag itself. I picked one of the handles – doesn’t really matter which one, it’s all about personal preference. I found the middle of the rolled scarf and placed it under the handle.
Tying Time
- I crossed one end of the scarf over the other, pulling it tight against the handle.
- Then I wrapped it around once more, creating a sort of knot.
- After that, it was just a matter of tying a simple bow. Nothing fancy, just your everyday bow like you’d do on your shoelaces.
I adjusted the bow, fluffed out the ends of the scarf a bit, and voilà! My Birkin now had a little extra flair. It’s a cute look, and it definitely adds something special to the bag.
Honestly, it took me a couple of tries to get it right. The first time, the scarf was too loose and kept slipping off. The second time, the bow looked all lopsided. But, third time’s the charm, as they say! I think I finally nailed it. It’s a fun little project if you’re looking to change up the look of your bag. Plus, it’s a good way to show off your scarf collection. Just be prepared to practice a bit before you get it looking perfect.
