Buy inexpensive tourist scarves in Paris

Today’s travel tip is to buy inexpensive tourist scarves from your destination – you’ll see them everywhere, and they’ll be very inexpensive, easy to pack, and very light in your baggage.

 

Here are a few top travel tips for using these scarves

Use the scarves:

1. to wrap gifts for your friends and family over the coming year. It’s such an unusual – and inexpensive – way to use a scarf, and your friends and family will love it!
2. to make inexpensive cushion covers for yourself, or for others. All you have to do is put two scarves together, sew around three sides, and turn right side out. Iron. Put a cushion insert inside, and stitch up the last seam. If you’re very good at sewing, you can add a zipper or velcro closure. Perfect!
3. as placemats
4. to cover books
5. to make a bedspread – yes! Depending on the size of your bed, you’ll need 3 or 4 scarves across the bed, times 4-5 scarves in length, so a total of 12-20+ scarves. You could even add a nice silky backing to it and turn it into a duvet.

Have fun! Keep your eyes peeled for other inexpensive tourist items you can use in many different ways.
