Scarves and leg warmers are two accessories that are key to making every outfit fit into the fall season. This diy is an easy way to re-use your old swearers so you don’t have to waste money buying new accessories for this fall!

What you’ll need:

•       Old sweater
•      Scissors

Scarf:

1. 
   

   1. Lay out you sweater, flat and even, on a hard surface

   2. Start by cutting a horizontal line all the way across the sweater. Cut below the seams of the sweater, where the sleeves are attached. Make sure you cut through both layers of the sweater

   3. Take the separated, bottom piece of the sweater that you just cut off, and gather it together so you can wear it as an infinity scarf

   4. Pull/ stretch the scarf a little, so you can double the fabric and wear it around your neck

Leg Warmers:

1. Lay out your sweater, flat and even, on a hard surface

2. Start by cutting the sleeves off of your sweater. Cut below the seams of the sweater where the sleeves attach to the body of the sweater, so you leave the seems attached to the body of the sweater

3. Take the sleeves, and slide them onto your legs, over a pair of jeans or leggings. Make sure the end you cut is tucked into your boot, and not sticking out

4. Put on a pair of boots over the leg warmers, but make sure about 2 or 3 inches of the leg warmers are sticking out above the top of your boots
