DIY Wrap with Toggle Closure

The other day my friend was wearing the cutest wrap from a boutique.  It was perfect for our fall weather and I knew I could make one in just minutes for a fraction of the price.  This DIY wrap with toggle closure is simple enough that even a beginner sewer can make it … and wouldn’t it be a great homemade gift for a friend or family member?

DIY wrap with toggle closure

To make one, you’ll need a square of fabric 55 inches across, preferably a woven wool or something similar.  Using a woven fabric will allow the edges to fringe and prevent the need for hemming.  Be sure the fabric you choose is not too thick or it won’t drape properly.  I used a lightweight wool that I found in the upholstery fabric section.  That area is perfect since the width of the fabric is generally 55 inches or larger.  To complete the wrap, you’ll also need a large toggle {affiliate link}.

Cut the edges of your fabric so that the piece is perfectly square.  Don’t cut the selvage edges which should already have a fringe on them.

Stitch a line on both cut edges about half an inch from the edge, then pull threads out to create a fringe on the cut sides.  The stitched line will prevent the material from unraveling too far back.

Fold the fabric in half, creating a triangle shape …

… and pin the toggle pieces in place, one on each side.  Make sure the loops face up toward the straight folded edge of the triangle and place the toggle eight inches from the top folded edge and twelve inches in from the side.  Stitch each piece of the toggle closure in place.

It’s as easy as that.  To wear this DIY wrap, drape it across your shoulders, allowing the neckline to bunch together, and attach the toggle together.  It’s such a simple project but looks so cute with any outfit.

    That’s lovely. I have treated myself to a beautiful blanket scarf but now I’m thinking adding a toggle fastening might make it even more useful. I can hide it in the folds to use it like a regular scarf or use the toggle for more of a shawl look. Thanks for the great inspiration.
