RE: Uses for Silk Scarves
I know this sounds wierd, but it really works!! When I put on a turtleneck, I put a silk scarf over my head and face to prevent makeup from getting on it. I do the same thing to take the turtleneck off, but I stuff the ends down inside the neck. The turtleneck slides right on and off with no makeup on it!!

They have not been in fashion for ages, so it is probably time for these scarves to become the very latest new craze. Hang on there, keep them for a little while longer and your daughters and nieces will be begging you for them.

Perhaps you could use them as backing for a memory board, or weave them together for decorating chair backs or adding color to chair seats.

i made a beautiful coverlet for my day bed out of my grandmother's handkerchief's.
you could sew them end to end, and them braid them together to make a belt.
you could use them to line a gift basket or gift bag.
you could "wrap" a small gift in them.
you could donate them to a retirement home.
if you use compact flourescent light bulbs which do not give off heat, you could drape one over a lampshade for a nice lighting effect.
you could use one to store silver jewelry or silverware in so it doesn't tarnish as quickly.
you could use them as elegant dinner napkins for special occasions.
you could make slipcovers for decorative pillows.

My mom and I made a quilt for my grandma with scarves/handerchiefs like this. We laid them out on a twin bed sized piece of white flannel in a "crazy quilt" pattern. We overlapped, folded, rearranged to make all the pieces fit - without cutting. We used different zizag stitches to tack them all down, but you could stitch by hand, too. I made a quilted backing and my mom stitched the two pieces together with a lacy crochet stitch.

Maybe use as doilies, or along the same lines as the previous post drape around a picture frame of a painting or a print that coordinates with the scarves.

Sounds like a perfect memory quilt. or pillows maybe. I have seen them used as a valance on small windows several overlapping like upside down triangles. Or maybe you could embroider, or have it done, messages or notes of memories on them then give them to friends and family members for Christmas. A nice treasure. hope this helps
