These scarves are lined with fleece and a little wider than a regular scarf, so they have that blanket scarf feeling, they look glamorous, and they are incredibly functional because they are so warm and cozy!!
Trust me, YOU NEED to make your own and the best part? They are simple to make! Fur can get a little scary if you haven’t done it before, but this scarf is a piece of cake.
1. True the size, making sure your fur is exactly and evenly your desired width. I may have to trim the long sides a little to make sure my scarf looks rectangular, here’s why…
The people cutting the fabric will not always cut the fabric evenly, you might realize this as soon as you lay out the fabric at home.
To prevent this, you can always speak up while they are cutting and tell them that it’s important the fabric is evenly your desired width throughout the length of your fur choice or just trim it at home. This takes a minute, no biggie.
2. Do the same with your fleece AND make sure your fleece is identical in length and and slightly more narrow in width, as your fur.
3. Pin right sides together,
notice the fur is facing down on to the fleece.

Faux Fur Scarf
To make a Faux Fur Scarf you need:
Faux fur, buy 1/3 – 1/2 yards that’s more than 50″ wide.
If the width is shorter, than you will need to buy twice the amount.
Cut in half so you have two pieces, sew the two ends together to create one long scarf,
Fleece, follow same notes above,
Matching thread,
and a Hand-sewing needle.
4. Using a sewing machine, sew all around the ends of your scarf EXCEPT for a 6-8″ hole/opening so your can turn your scarf right side out.
5. Once you turn your scarf right side out through that 6-8″ hole/opening, you want to hand sew it shut. Use whatever stitch you like because the nap of the fur will hide the stitches, so it doesn’t have to be perfect or pretty. Just securely close that hole.
6. Now your Faux Fur Scarf is complete!
Isn't it fabulous?
