A scarf can easily be turned into a bag by simply knotting the ends together.

Making a sundress is very easy using a sarong: wrap it around your body, insert the two upper ends into a ring and pull them towards the sides, wedging them under the hem. Now you're ready for the beach, but also for a walk downtown!

With a large scarf or sarong, you can create a fantastic soft top: wrap the scarf or sarong behind your back and tie the ends behind your neck after passing it under your armpits. Tie a knot in the center of your chest, joining the two middle parts, and you're done.

5. Dress
You can also transform a sarong into a dress: tie together the two ends and place the loop over your neck, letting the sarong drap in the front. Reach around your insert an arm into the sarong, so as to leave it draped obliquely to the side. Tie the ends together in the back. Add a nice bel,t and you're ready to go.
