    Graffiti Bicycle Scarf

    Published: Jul 7, 2015 · Modified: Jul 8, 2015 · by Vanessa Brady · This post may contain affiliate links and ads · 7 Comments

    Super easy way to make a Graffiti Bicycle Scarf! Technique can be used with any thrift store scarf and stencil!Welcome to Day 2 of SCARF WEEK!!! The biggest, baddest week in all of the blogosphere! Today’s Scarf Week tutorials revolve around all things dyed, painted, or stamped and this Graffiti Bicycle Scarf fits in FINtastically.

    In case you have no idea what I’m talking about, last year I teamed up with Lauren from The Thinking Closet to host a week of scarf inspiration to coincide with Discovery Channel’s Shark Week (check out all of last year’s projects here) and we’re back with even more killer projects! The 2nd Annual Scarf Week is going to be packed to the gills with crafty scarf fun and terrible shark puns. I promise, it’s going to be JAWesome! (I warned you about those puns)

    Dye It, Paint It, Stamp It

    This scarf is so easy to make that with the right supplies you’ll be FINished within minutes! You’re going to need a scarf (I used a thrifted white one), a stencil (check out my bicycle stencil tutorial), and Tulip Color Shot. There are other spray fabric paints but I love how light the Tulip Color Shot goes on. So important when you’re working with light scarf materials! (Not sponsored, just really love this fabric paint!)

    I made my bike stencil seen in this tutorial but really you can use any stencil you like! Here’s another bike stencil that looks totally similar to mine if that’s the look you want. The only thing you need to keep in mind when working with the Tulip Color Shot is that just like with regular spray paint, there’s going to be a good amount of over spray everywhere. Make sure you block off the sections of your scarf that you’re not stenciling really well!

    Ready to Wear

    Once you’ve completed spraying the pattern on your scarf, allow the paint to dry completely, and you’re done! I love my Graffiti Bicycle Scarf ten times more than I did as just a plain white scarf. Just think of all the fun stencils out there that will look snappy on those inexpensive plain scarves you can always find at thrift stores!

      This is adorable! I love the rough, weathered look of the bikes….very graffiti indeed! I’ll have to give that Tulip color shot a try sometime too. Thanks of hosting Scarf Week….I enjoyed taking part in this event! 🙂

      This turned out so well, Vanessa! I love a patterned scarf…especially one that celebrates a favorite pastime like biking! And also, thanks for introducing me to that awesome fabric spray paint. MUST TRY! And you definitely get the award for best Scarf Week puns. Off to pin!

      This turned out amazing! The bike pattern looks so trendy, definitely the type of design I’d see in a boutique somewhere. I’ve never tried spray fabric paint, but will definitely try it out in the future.

      I like how the Tulip Color Shot was easy enough for your son to use. I am going to have to keep my eye out for that in the local craft stores.

      Love the bicycle theme! This scarf would be perfect for a cool day at the beach, bike-riding on the boardwalk! Pinned it–or maybe this week it should be FINned it on FINterest! Thanks for getting me started on the puns.
