One trend we are crushing on around here is star sign and constellation inspired prints! This week Katie stamped and embroidered a beautiful scarf. I love the delicate pattern and hand stitched details. Here's how she did it:Supplies: craft foam, fabric paint, scissors, white colored pencil, super glue, scarf, embroidery floss & needle, embroidery hoop (optional), disappearing ink pen. 1. Draw a star on a piece of paper and cut it out. Trace the star image onto a piece of craft foam using a white pencil. Cut the star from the foam. 2. Use glue (super glue is fast!) to adhere your foam to a piece of cardboard to create your stamp. 3. Begin stamping out your constellations (I googled a constellations map). Draw the lines between the stars with a disappearing pen and embroider the lines. 4. Continue until your scarf is full! Happy stitching!

So simple and pretty! I always feel like the simplest of ideas always make the most beautiful and unique projects.
I love this! I was wondering what the constellations were on when I saw the video the other day, this is great! I may have to transfer this idea onto a skirt… 🙂
the constellation pattern is so pretty and inspiring.. reminds me to go star-gazing 🙂 also makes me think of the wall paintings from the old old RV shop decor “science genius”!
I am itching to do DIY projects such as this, it looks like so much fun and plenty of room for personalization. =)
This is one of my favorite places for DIY inspiration, thank you for sharing!
Love, love, LOVE this idea! I was going to celery-stamp a scarf I have at home but now I think I’ll do this. So unique & such a cool conversation piece!
So pretty! I made a constellation book for my dad a while back. He’s really in to astronomy, so he LOVED it! Thank goodness, cuz it took me 8 hours to make.
Really cute. I love that constellations are becoming a trend! My favorite craft I’ve seen recently was from my friend Amy who did a constellation custom embroidery on an umbrella…SO amazing: http://instagram.com/p/VHxFr6Nm27/
I can’t wait to make this for my niece Stella (which means star!). Stella is only 4 months old, but when she gets a little older she is going to get tons of star gifts from me, and this scarf is perfect!
I am such a scarf girl and this is wonderful! I can’t wait to add some flare to a boring old scarf! (Also, I love the photographs. So cheery and inspiring.)
nice! I have plain navy scarf that I want to recycle. I thought the stars were also embroidered, not just the lines between them! Because I want mine to be just embroidery, not print.

This looks so easy and adorable! I’m not very awesome at sewing (yet! hoping to get better) so this would be perfect. Love it!

So cute!! and I MUST have your hair color, please tell me it’s store bought. What color is it?
I love this! Pinning!
such a clever idea and it looks fab! you can never have enough galaxy/astronomy related apparel 🙂
Beautiful scarf !!
New post up (featuring my first video !): http://www.thestilettoholic.com/2013/01/31/my-first-youtube-video/
This is awesome! It would be cute to hand stitch with cross stitch thread too.
this idea is so cute! and, it’s about at my sewing skill level. love.
This is such a cool idea 🙂 and a great way to revamp old/boring scarves.
That is so fun. I love it. Makes me motivated to do my own prints.

Such a good idea! Pretty much all my scarves are knit and I definitely need some that aren’t.
Wow!! So cute. I love the star pattern but when has Katie not looked cute?
Gorgeous! This is off the charts delightful.
Love new embroidery ideas! Thanks for the easy DIY!

amazing! i was just looking through the planetarium google chrome app last night, what a coincidence.
i LOVE the night sky!
so simple yet so beautiful….great piece of an art!!!
This is an adorable gift idea! Thanks! I’ve been wanting to do the constellations on navy fabric with white thread to hang on my walls.
What I love about embroidery is that perfection is overrated. It’s homemade and natural when the stitches are slightly “off” size.
I recently embroidered my friend’s Yorkie on a tea towel for her 30th birthday. Check it out and let me know what you think!

wow this is really nice! I am totally in love with scarves, and I have an embarrassingly large collection. I might have to try this out!
Such a beautiful scarf!!! I adore constellations also. For Christmas, I made my friends constellation maps where you shine a torch through then at night to reflect onto the wall or ceiling. I posted the DIY here http://gingerlillytea.blogspot.co.uk/2013/01/diy-constellation-maps.html?m=1

I just had major inspiration overload with this and a plain scarf I have…instead, I’ll ink on an old picture of a kraken with the stars above…

Constellation prints are everywhere! I like how this scarf is subtle because it’s black and white, not like a crazy galaxy print.
Really cute. I love that constellations are becoming a trend! My favorite craft I’ve seen recently was from my friend Amy who did a constellation custom embroidery on an umbrella…SO amazing: http://instagram.com/p/VHxFr6Nm27/

Lovely! 🙂
where did you get this scarf?
The scarf is from Target :))
Super crafty and completely adaptable per person!
Definitely pinning for my to-craft list. Love it. And I love that you can customize it to your favorite constellations. 🙂
Good job! Where did you get the idea from?
I love the stars in particular!
Why did I not see this earlier? I’m definitely trying this coming winter.
nice! I have plain navy scarf that I want to recycle. I thought the stars were also embroidered, not just the lines between them! Because I want mine to be just embroidery, not print.
