Bedsheets are known for being cozy, but did you know they can also be considered high-end fashion? If you have an eye for style, and love feeling comfortable when you put together your outfit of the day, then this project will check all those boxes. You can even get your holiday gifts crossed off your to-do list when you throw the finished project in a stocking or two!
Scarves are always in style. Whether you live somewhere warm and want a scarf to complete your look, or you're in colder climates and need something that's a combination of fashion meets function. If you have flannel sheets, then create a scarf for those colder temps. Cotton sheets are perfect for scarves that are used more as an accessory. Either way, you'll be a trendsetter, and everyone will want to know where you've been shopping.
