This accessory appeared several years ago, but today it is only beginning to gain popularity. In terms of functionality, it can be compared with a buckle for tying neck scarves and scarves, but there are many differences. Our article will tell you what a magic button for scarves is. Schemes and methods of use will help you learn how to use this cute little thing.
Magic button
Consider the features that distinguish this accessory from the usual for many buckles. Firstly, the magic buttons are perfect for clothes in a casual style, while the buckles are designed for business and evening styles.
Buttons are made of a wide variety of materials: plastic, plexiglass, bone, horn, metal, clay, wood. Due to the diversity, every fashionista can choose the perfect option.
If you can easily cope with the buckle, you will also figure out how to use the button for the scarf.
In the next photo you can see how this accessory looks. It is a round plate with two holes. They called him a button for his uniform. Well, the definition of "magic" is associated with ease of use. There is nothing complicated in attaching scarves and scarves with this accessory. Try it once, and you will certainly succeed.
But before you tie a scarf with a button for the first time, it is useful to get some theoretical information.
Two principles of use
There are many ways to attach a magic button to scarves. There are only two schemes. Having mastered them, you can improvise.
The first is that both ends of the scarf are threaded into holes, towards each other or in the same direction.
The second involves threading one end into the holes. The second in this case, you need to insert into the loop formed between the holes. As with the first method, the tips can lie in one direction and in the opposite direction.
Any method of attaching a magic button corresponds to one of these schemes.
Symmetric tying pattern
You can fix a square neckerchief in this way or a scarf that is not too long. Pick the right miracle button, put a scarf around your neck and align its ends. They must be the same length. Pass both ends first into one hole and release from the second.
A decorative magic button for scarves is suitable.
Scheme for a short scarf
For this method, a transparent button or one that is the same color as the scarf is often used. The accessory has a practical function and can be hidden in folds. But decorative is also suitable.
Fold the scarf or scarf along with an accordion and twist it a little. Fold around the neck in a ring. Pass one end into both holes of the magic scarf button. Lower the accessory to the very end of the scarf, closer to the edge. Loop a bit while loosening some of the fabric between the holes. Insert the other end into this eyelet and straighten the folds. The fabric should lie in a beautiful wave. You can leave the joint in the middle of the neck or lay on the shoulder.
How to tie a voluminous warm scarf
For knitted scarves, you can also choose a miracle button. It should be large enough with huge holes. You can even use a belt buckle for this purpose.
Before using the scarf button, wrap the scarf around the neck twice. Pass the ends through the holes towards each other. Form beautiful folds, straighten the scarf.
For this method, both inconspicuous buckle and spectacular, decorated with decor, are suitable. It all depends on whether you want it to be visible, or if you want to hide it in folds.
This method is very convenient, because it eliminates the need to tie knots. In the case of knitted scarves, they can turn out to be quite bulky. In addition, if you choose the option of a spectacular and unusual decoration, it can become a real highlight of the everyday look.
Unusual option for a beach pareo
You can find another use of the magic button for scarves. The attachment schemes are studied and mastered, why not try something unusual?
For this method, you need a couple of bright identical buttons. Even the most ordinary plastic ones will do. The main thing is that they harmoniously combine with the color of the pareo. This idea is suitable, for example, for going to a beach cafe.
Buttons should be chosen small, because pareos are usually sewn from thin fabrics. Large accessories with large holes will fly off.
Fold the pareo, wrap it around the body. Secure the top two corners with one button under the collarbone or on the shoulder. Spread the corners so they fit nicely.
The lower corners can be left in free flight, or can be fastened in the same way using the second button.
Try other ways. For example, the upper ends of a pareo can be attached to the chest. The resulting “dress” is a great alternative to a beach tunic.
How to choose a magic button
If you pick up a miracle button for scarves, follow some recommendations. Satin and silk neck ornaments are not customary to combine with budget accessories. Choose buttons for them from smooth materials: polished metal, enamel, horns. You can choose a handmade buckle made of quality beads and Swarovski crystals.
Plain brown, beige or black buttons are suitable for ravenous print scarves. But for plain or striped scarves, you can pick up an accessory with painting, carving, applique.
Geometric scarves, shawls and stoles combine perfectly with square wonder buttons.
