Make Your Shorts Fit Better With a Silk Scarf
In this simple DIY, I’m going to show you how to alter shorts that are too big.
You probably think that this hack involves sewing, but it does not! All you need to make your shorts tighter around the waist so that they fit better is a silk scarf. Let me show you what to do.

Tools and materials:
- Silk scarf
- Shorts
1. Place scarf through belt loops
Place your scarf through one of the front belt loops of your shorts.
Place the other end of the scarf through the other front loop.
2. Tie a bow
Now tie the two ends of the scarf into a bow.
Doing this tightens the waistband of the shorts by pulling the material together, getting rid of that extra loose space.

You can also do the same trick on the side if you would rather the bow isn’t front and center of your pants.
This is not only a practical way to make your shorts fit better, but it is also very stylish too.
There are so many beautiful silk scarves out there; choose one with a color and pattern that you love and have a go at this.
And if you see a pair of shorts in a thrift store that catches your attention but it isn’t in your size, you can go ahead and buy them because you now know what you need to do to make them fit.
