Step 2: Now take a safety pin and secure one folded end. Now open the dupatta so that the safety pin is visible in the centre. Take both open ends of the dupatta and keep it on the safety pin in the centre, securing them with another safety pin while removing the previous one. Mark 7 inches using a measuring from either side of the centre point and secure both ends with safety pins.

Step 3: Here it is, your long shrug ready within minutes with no cutting or sewing. Fold the shrug inside out and try it on to check if both ends are the same in measurement.
