<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">How to make a cute and simple top out of two silk vintage scarves</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I've been collecting these gorgeous vintage scarves for a while now and really didn't know what to do with the square ones.

Don't worry if they don't quite match up. Just match them from the outer edges.
