Use a pencil to mark spots on the front and back where the straps will be attached. Then cut very tiny slits at those spots.

Attach Straps

Attach the elastic starting from the one of the back holes, looping diagonally through the front hole on the opposite side, across and through the other front hole, then diagonally down to the other back hole. Tie knots at each end to secure the elastic straps.

Note: You may need to measure the elastic beforehand to make sure the length is correct for your body.

Cut Fringe & Add Binding Tape

Use fabric scissors to cut the fringe ends from the scarf. Then fabric glue the binding tape along the edges for a smooth finish.
