Scarfs and buttons

Knoop

I saw this scarf on Modcloth. But it costs $139!
I decided that I would be able to make the same scarf for a lot less money. Or at least I decided that there had to be someone who would be able to make me one for a lot less money. And I found her. I made her a purse and got this scarf 'almost' for free.

I mainly wanted the scarf because of the lovely buttons: wooden hearts. Although I didn't have to knit the scarf, I was in charge for the buttons. Unfortunately, I don't possess any carpentry skills, so I had to find another material. Instead of wood, I used clay painted with several layers of acrylic. And up to now it works (and looks) great!
