White silk scarves

Accessories are some things that can add style to even the simplest of clothes or dull outfit. If you're simply using scarves to complement your outfit, you really can't go wrong with beautiful Plain White silk scarves. Scarves can offer you protection, comfort as well as a high sense of confidence. They are all-around fashion accessory that is essential for adding a soft touch to any outfit and are ideal accessories to enhance any look. Embroidered scarves are also particularly nice, come to making a breathtaking fashion statement for women's, especially when worn with a sweater, blouse or suit.

If you have plain white scarves that are accumulating dust in your drawers or attics, you could turn them into something wearable by tie-dying them. The process of tie-dying actually started in the United States between 1960 and 1970. Musicians such as Janis Joplin and John Sebastian were the ones who started wearing them and causing people to join the bandwagon.

Basically, the first thing you need to do is to bind different ends of your scarf with rubber bands to form your desired pattern. Afterwards, you can either drop blots of dye or dip them into different colored dye filled containers. Make sure to use variations of colors in different places so that you get intricate patterns.

If you want to create a spiral pattern, gather a small section using a pin. Afterwards, slowly rotate the piece as you create pleats of fabric that form swirls around the center point. When you have noticed that a flat roundish bundle has been created, you will be able to create a variation of wedges with the circular bundle. This will form a full spiral effect.
