Magic button for scarves: how to use

From time immemorial, women decorate their outfits in various ways. Modern ladies also strive to give a touch of unusualness to a casual look. One way is to tie a scarf, scarf, and stole in a special way, wrapping it around the neck or throwing it over the shoulders. This is most interesting with a special device called a magic button.

This little thing appeared in the wardrobe of fashionistas not so long ago, however, with its help, scarves confidently hold the lead among items of clothing decor.

The magic button for scarves - what is it

A miracle button is a device that, connecting both ends of a scarf, fixes them in different variations. It is a wooden, metal or plastic base with two enlarged holes. The buckle has different shapes: oval, square, rectangle, triangle, circle, heart, rhombus, trapezoid, butterfly.

Reference! The epithet “magic” button is awarded for amazing functionality with all the simplicity of the design.

Using this blank, women create unique and unique images. The same scarf is tied in several variations.

Choosing this simple accessory, remember some rules:

  • glossy buttons are selected for satin and thin fabrics, matte to the rest;
  • a plain shawl will look good in the presence of a clear geometric pattern of the buckle, with it you can wear a scarf with contrasting geometry of the padding;
  • animal prints, small or fancy painting, imitation of painting on fabrics require plain buttons;
  • buckles of different shapes with distinct angles are recommended for scarves in the same color; for scarves of a naturalistic color, round ones of any shape, including irregular ones, are recommended.

How to use

There are many ways to tie a scarf using a miracle button, but there are actually only two patterns:

  • The two ends of the scarf are alternately passed through the holes in the selected direction.
  • One of the tips passes alternately through both holes. In this case, the scarf forms a loop into which the other tip is inserted.

In both methods, the ends are skipped either in one direction, next to each other, or in the opposite directions, intersecting at the junction.

Any other methods of fastening the scarf with the help of a magic button will be only variations of the first or second described method.

Patterns of using miracle buttons for thin scarves

There are several original solutions, acquaintance with which will help to look stylish, using a minimum of accessories.

One of the methods:

  1. We form a fold from a scarf that freely fits around the neck.
  2. On the other hand, grab the crease just above.
  3. This creates a slight asymmetry, which in itself is interesting.
  4. Together, we sew both edges into the button holes, alternately, as if making a stitch.
  5. Straighten the free tip.

It turned out beautiful and original. The shoulders are covered with a stole, like a cloak, the highlight of the image is a light drapery and a “petal” of fabric. In addition to light scarves, this method is also used for denser fabrics.

The second method is only for thin material:

  • The scarf is freely located on the shoulders, the length of the ends aligned to the same.
  • A fold is seized from the inside and threaded at both ends of the button.
  • Exactly the same manipulations are done with the fabric and from the second side, only to the other side, towards each other.

The result was an imitation of a blouse.

The third method of fastening completely repeats the second with the difference that all actions are performed on the front side. As a result, a flower with two petals is obtained near the buckle, which will hold light tissue on the shoulders during windy weather.

This method is also suitable for working with denser materials. The result is a bright, stylish “rose” on outerwear for the time when flowers are no longer on the streets.

Another scheme, the result of which will appeal to any fashionista:

  • about 10 cm from the edge of the scarf in the chest area (the distance between the opened thumb and forefinger) to one side and capture the fold;
  • the fabric is pulled into the near hole of the button, straightening the formed stock of material;
  • in the same way work with the second side of the scarf;
  • level and correct the received air petals.

For tight, bulky scarves

In this case, the magic button should be large, with corresponding holes. For very voluminous fabrics or knitwear, even a belt buckle is suitable.

Perform the following manipulations:

  1. Wrap a scarf or scarf around your neck. Depending on the length, once or twice.
  2. Pass the ends of the scarf through the holes in the opposite directions.
  3. Flatten wrinkles.
  4. Adjust the length and align the tips.

There is another option:

  1. Flatten the scarf (or scarf) on the shoulders around the neck.
  2. Thread one tip into the holes of the magic button.
  3. Pass the other end perpendicular to the first through the loop formed by the scarf at the junction.
  4. Throw it over your shoulder.
  5. Align all formed folds.

For large pareos

In the case of beach scarves, you can create a skirt, wrap, top or dress.

To get a new original product, use the tips:

  • wrap a pareo around the figure;
  • connect both ends;
  • thread them alternately into both holes of the button;
  • tighten the resulting product in the neckline;
  • tie two loose “straps” around the neck on the back.

Important! You can also thread the ends of the beach scarf not in one direction, but in different directions, the essence will remain the same, but the style of the resulting dress will change slightly.

According to this scheme, a pareo quite simply turns into a skirt. Only the product is tightened around the waist or slightly lower, and the buckle is seated on the side. At this point, an incision will be made that opens the leg from the highest point of the thigh.

If you take 2 light scarves and 2 buttons, then on the game freely hanging or draping on the sides of the fabric, you get new amazing styles of familiar things.
