Braided Scarf

Directions to make a braided scarf: 

 

Get 2 different colors of fabric. I got 1/2 yard of each color and it made 1 loop. 

 

Fold each piece of fabric into a horseshoe and place overlapping one another.

 

 Put your hand through the bottom loop and grab the ends of the opposite color fabric. 

It should look like this..

Repeat this step. 

Now, sew the two loose ends together. 

And it should look like this! 

If I were to do this again I would use softer fabric. The fabric I used was difficult to loop together and ended up being stiff. My final product did not turn out looking as cute as the one on Pinterest but I do think it has something to do with my fabric selection.

 These are the best mashed potatoes that I've ever made! I made some alterations to the recipe such as leaving the skin on the potatoes and adding garlic powder but they still ended up being delicious!
