It’s a scarf, and it goes on and on and on to infinity and beyond! Try out different sizes (little scarf, big scarf, fat scarf, skinny scarf!) or different fabrics (knit! chiffon! fleece!). There are no wrong answers here. Dare I say it? GET WACKY.
The green scarf above is made using a slinky rayon knit. Here are some more fabric examples:
Skull scarf in polyester organza
Starry Night scarf in heavy cotton interlock knit
Only wrap it halfway, and you’ve got a hood + scarf in one! A Scood! A Harf! A Scahoof?

Who doesn’t love pretty flowers? NO ONE, that’s who. That’s why this tutorial for a faux aged pot planted with an amaryllis bulb would make an excellent holiday gift! Not too spendy, either:

1 amaryllis bulb … $10-15
1 bag of potting mix … $4
terra cotta pot with saucer … $3
craft paint … $1
TOTAL … $18-23
Big honkin’ pretty flowers that bloom for weeks when it’s all gross and wintery outside … PRICELESS
(P.S. I always get my bulbs from easytogrowbulbs.com.)
