Taking opposite corners, fold the scarf in half to form a triangle.
Secure safety pins along the edge, 10 cm (4 inches) away from the tip on both sides.
Place the chain necklace on top of the scarf in line with the safety pins. Fold the small corner of the scarf down.
Tuck the pointy corner in to create a straight line and secure in place with a safety pin.
