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:
- 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!
- 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!
- as placemats
- to cover books
- 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.
