Vintage Scarves as Pillows

One of my clients inherited quite a few vintage silk scarves from her grandmother. Lots of Liberty of London and Vera.

We're putting the collection to good use. One will be framed and several others made into pillows. One of my favorite scarves is a sweet blue Liberty of London floral that will go on a chair in the nursery. It looks just like this one, available here:


Both Martha and Eddie Ross have featured this same idea for turning scarves into pillows and shared their instructions here and here.

Framing vintage scarves is another great idea.

Any other great ideas for repurposing vintage scarves?
