Silk scarves, assorted swatches of fashionable fabric, lend themselves to myriad fashionable uses. Techniques, tips, and advice are widespread on how to dress up an outfit, home, and hair, or accessorize with fashionable swatches.

Homes can gain instant flair by using fabric as decorative window treatments, curtains, curtain ties. Mantels, tables, lampshades, bookshelves and other surfaces can pop with flair for spring, summer, winter, fall, themes, parties, and special events. A silk scarf draped on a lampshade, tied around its center and bow tied or draped, or tied around the length or base, can give a lamp an instant makeover. Other mini makeovers include creative gift wrapping, for a double gift in one.

Covering the hair, pillow, or a lamp shade is a snap. Wrapping hair at night in a protective wrap of hair friendly fabric can prevent dryness, breakage, split ends, preserve hairstyles, and reduce tangles. Some advise how easy it is turn unattractive pantyhose or similar caps into glamour gear with a trick of fabric. Now you see the skullcap, now you don't. You can secure fabric with bobby pins when used in hair.

Lounging indoors, outdoors or poolside can get a boost from designer head accents like a bandanna, headband, or covering. Accent car head rests or seat covers with fabric. This may provide a snappy solution to head rests that are hair pullers. Seat covering can stop the tugging in its tracks and give your car a mini makeover. Same goes for pillows. Drape pillows, or wherever your head lays with fabric. Additionally, tie fabric around a pillow and let excess hang or bow tie.

When it comes to clothes, drape material across a solid color dress, such as a turtle neck, to add a fashionable splash. Tie it on hips and let it drape naturally. If it has fringe, even better. You can turn one dress into multiple dresses by changing out the fabric. Change up the look by draping it higher or lower on the body, tying looser or tighter to create the illusion of a skirt. Create a triangle with the fabric and tie at a hip to switch up the effect. Rolling the fabric at the waist before tying off can also lengthen or shorten the effect. Instead of tying off with a knot, you can use one or more decorative clips or brooches. The fabric can also have clips or brooches attached decoratively to the fabric. The horizontal or diagonal hip look can be used with a dress, skirt, leggings, pants, jeans, shorts, swimwear or lounge wear for a sari effect.

Fabric can be twisted and tied off with jewelry such as a brooch or clip to accent hair, neck, or waist. Twisted fabric can also stand in for a stylish belt. Complete look with a Windsor knot, bow tie, hanging tie, or clip with brooch. A splash of chic designer fabric can be worn as a shawl or sash. Fold fabric into triangle, drape across back and tie off in front. Another variation is to drape fabric across shoulder to shoulder, or shoulder across front of chest and cinched at hip.
