What about using them to cover pillows to make decorative pillows for sofas and/or beds?

You can cut them in 8x8 squares then cut 8x8 squares of plain cotton add 2 to spoon of vinegar cover eggs with one square of the scarf and one cotton square boil the covered eggs with water for ten minutes cool unwrap and you have decorative eggs for easter

First, make sure they arent valuable. Youd be surprised! I collect a mid century brand by Vera (not worth anything but I like them) but Ive discovered valuable scarves that apparently nobody realize had worth.

Next, find an oncologists office near you and ask if they take donations - people with cancer who do chemo that causes hair loss will appreciate it. Lots of people donate knit hats, but they can be uncomfortable on a bald head, especially in summer. A nice silk scarf is much more comfortable and helpful.

I am looking for the directions to tying a scarf into a purse. I saw this on Martha Stewart's show, but cannot find them on her website. If anyone can tell me where to find them please let me know.

I remembered this from earlier this summer. It was actually a feature on the Martha Show about her new magazine called Blueprint that came out in May (2006). I don't know why it isn't on the website! Anyway, the best I could do was scan the picture in from the article and type in the directions below. Hope it helps!

Use a 32 inch square scarf or 45 inch square tablecloth

1. Lay the scarf facedown. Pull one of the corners through one hand to create a tail about one-third the length of the side; tie a knot.

2. Repeat the same tail-knotting on the scarf's other three corners.

3. For handles, tie the upper two tails together in a square knot (right over left, left over right); repeat with the lower two tails.

Wrap and tie either new or recycled scarves around throw pillows to give them a second life as part of your home decor. This is a page about giving a throw pillow a new look with scarves.
