Dollar Store Fleece Scarf Gallery
If the cast of Project Runway were dropped off at the dollar store, no doubt they would be tempted to use the fleece scarves, as they yield so much real fabric ripe for transformation. Dollar store fleece scarves come in many colors, and only need a little embellishment to take them from drab to fab.
These hand-printed scarves from Curbly serve as great inspiration for what you can do with the humble fleece scarf:
The project appears to be a basic stencil, so you really just need a fleece scarf, fabric paint, and something to cut your stencil out of. An easy way to make a stencil is to print your image on a piece of paper, cover the paper with clear packing tape (both sides), and cut it out with an exacto knife. Or if the image isn’t too detailed, scissors also work. Adhere the stencil to your fabric (either spray the back of the stencil with spray glue, or just tape the stencil on with masking tape), and paint. You can use a brayer (one of those rolly rubber things that looks like a paint roller) covered with fabric paint, or a brush or sponge will work just fine.
Project Estimate:
- Fleece scarf, $1
- Fabric paint, on hand (or acrylic paint, dry then set with vinegar & an iron)
- Stencil, make your own for free
Total cost: $1 or so
Fleece scarf dollar store projects are abundant, so I thought I would showcase a few of the cute embellished ones I’ve found. Use these as inspirations for your own creations:
Felt applique is cute, as in this Skully scarf by reese52.
This fleece scarf has appliques added. I also like the scalloped edge. From So Very Varied.
You can make a scarf into a hooded scarf with some very simple sewing. From About.com

Great idea! I’d be sewing on sequins and a big decorative button on mine!
That sounds really pretty!
Great Ideal for my files for x-mas
Just a thought….when I stencil, I copy my imagine onto freezer paper. Copy it onto the non-waxy side, cut it out with an exacto knife, and then lay it waxy-side-down on your item. If you iron it, the waxy part will stick to your fabric and make it suuuuuper easy to get all those details with out the stencil moving around. If you iron a solid sheet on the backside of where you’re stenciling it will also keep the fabric from bunching up, and you won’t have to worry about your paint bleeding onto anything else (which is especially helpful if you’re stenciling a shirt)
Freezer paper is pretty cheap too, I have to add.
@Tiffany You’re right – freezer paper is definitely the better method. I think I have just used the other method (with packing tape + spray glue) because I like to use a printout from my printer. I even have freezer paper… so next time I’ll try it instead!
I use contact paper and it works like a breeze!
