DIY Lyric Scarf

This is a simple project that I have been wanting to try for a while. I absolutely LOVE the musical Wicked. I love everything about it - music, costumes, everything! When I decided to try this project I knew I wanted to use the lyrics from For Good because the words are so beautiful.

 Materials needed:

Lightweight fabric or ready made scarf

Fabric pens

I made my scarf from a lightweight fabric which happened to have lines through it. This was really helpful when writing because I had a line to follow. I wanted to make a triangle scarf rather than a square scarf. The fabric didn't sit right when it was doubled so I cut it in half. My fabric measured 128cms up and 128cms across with the diagonal cut from the top corner to the bottom.

I wrote on the fabric then finished the edges afterwards. I started at the top and worked my way down. I had to write the lyrics 3 times to fill the fabric. I changed colours so that a section near the top and bottom was green. It did use a lot of ink so if you are using just one colour, you will probably need two pens of the same colour. Once I filled the fabric with lyrics, I let it dry then finished the edges by folding over twice and stitching on the sewing machine. I then heat set it with the iron to fix the ink in the fabric. That was it, not difficult at all! 

For this one I used lyrics from Somewhere Over The Rainbow and I added more colours so the overall effect was more colourful.
