Can I Buy That Scarf?
That was the question of the day at each of the Preview locations we visited. If you were able to join us at one of our events, you probably had your picture made in the Expo area. It was a ton of fun taking everyone’s pictures and posting them to Facebook.
Each person who had their picture made received a free pair of VBS 2012 Pilot Goggles and got to wear an amazing scarf with the VBS logo. Many people asked if the scarves were a product we sell. Unfortunately, the answer is, “No.” However, with an iron and a VBS 2012 Logo Iron-On, you can create your own fabulous scarves.
We purchased fleece scarves at a local store, and used the iron-ons to place the logo on one end of each scarf. Because our scarves were fleece, we set the iron temperature just a little lower than instructed to keep the fleece from scorching. Other than that, just follow the instructions on the package.
Now for the exciting part! Leave a comment on this post by next Thursday, March 1 and you may win your very own set of scarves. Three lucky folks will be selected randomly to receive a set of 2 scarves. Can it get any better than that?
Dearest Carol,
What should one do if the scarves become entangled in my propeller? I tried killing the engine but I rapidly begin to descend. I also am having difficulty texting this to you while flying. Can you please respond immediately, I’m running low on fuel.
Signed,
First time flyer and current GEEK OF THE WEEK!
Thought the scarves were a wonderful touch to the pictures! We are planning on doing family pictures with the plane, goggles and scarves as a promotion for VBS!!
The scarves are a great idea. I would have never have thought to use one. We love the idea of using them during our vbs season to promote the theme and event.
Thank you.
Love all the pictures and comments. Working on getting our VBS planned and get more excited each day. Will you ever have a preview or workshop in the Anniston Alabama area?
Thanks for the details! I’m off to find some fleece scarves for our cockpit crew and flight attendants!!!!!!
The scarves look great (and the goggles too!) Wouldn’t be hard to make fleece scarves (no sew kind). You’ve given this Craft Leader a new idea to pursue!
Looking forward to VBS this year. Amazing theme, amazing God.
I love the scarf idea. I bought the iron ons and have set out to find some scarves but in southeast Georgia where it will be 80 today (Feb 23), they are hard to come by. I did find some in a Walmart a little farther north of where I stay but the only color that I thought was useable was a light grey. Hope I win some white ones.
Would LOVE to receive the scarves! Our small church has a very bare bones budget, and any little extra would be greatly appreciated!!!
We were among the Amazing Trainees at the Fort Worth training who loved the scarves. If you haven’t picked the Wonderful people to receive a scarf, would you please give one to our VBS director? She the geekiest VBS person I know personally! She deserves a scarf and much, much more.
As my wonderful Children’s Director, Marisol Morales, stated in her comment earlier…LOVE THE IDEA!!! Would love to win these!!!!
I would so love to win these! I think it is a great idea and I might have to try it myself! Thank you Lifeway for giving such great ideas! I ♥ vbs!
I JUST WANTED TO SAY HOW MUCH FUN THE VBS PREVIEW EVENT IN KISSIMMEE WAS. WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT LEARNING COULD BE SO MUCH FUN. YOU ALL HAVE PUT SO MUCH THOUGHT IN TO EACH LITTLE DETAIL THAT IT MAKES IT SO MUCH EASIER ON US. JUST LAST NIGHT MY 11 YEAR OLD SON PUT TOGETHER THE FIRST OF 5 WOODEN MODEL AIRPLANES THAT I HAD GOTTEN AT CRACKER BARREL AT 70% OFF (I DO SO LOVE FINDING A REALLY GOOD DEAL) & IT IS REALLY CUTE. MY SON IN LAW IS MAKING THE PLANE FOR US THAT WAS AT THE EXPO WHERE WE GOT OUR PICTURES TAKEN & WE WOULD LOVE TO WIN THAT SET OF SCARFS. I DON’T KNOW IF I CAN WAIT TILL JULY WHEN WE HAVE OUR VBS, AFTER THE PREVIEW EVENT, WE ARE SO EXCITED TO GET STARTED. THANKS AGAIN FOR ALL YOU DO. P.S. WE LOVE JEFF SLAUGHTER & HATE TO SEE HIM LEAVE, BUT ARE PRAYING THAT HE CONTINUE TO DO GREAT THINGS & MAY GOD BLESS HIM & HIS WORK.
I would like to win those scarves because I am a 10 year director of VBS. It’s my favorite time of the year. I just can’t wait to fly away on this year’s adventure! VBS – I love you!
thanks for the scarf idea….now, if we can just find enough fleece scarfs!!!!! I love VBS!!!
I would like to win the scarves! I love VBS. I have been working in Vacation Bible School for about 44 years and enjoy every year. Some of those years I worked in 5 VBS’S each year.
So excited about the scarves! Love the airplane idea to promote VBS and also during VBS. I have agreed to be director this year and although it’s a bit scary, I am always ready to see God move in amazing ways.
I love Lifeway’s VBS! Looking forward to Amazing Wonders Aviation and would love to win the scarves!
Oh the scarves are such an awesome addition to the VBS theme!! I will impatiently wait to see if I win them…before running out to buy some along with the iron-ons! Worship Rally will be AWESOME with our Leader wearing the scarf and goggles!
The scarf was a cute idea for our photos! Had a wonderful time at the VBS Preview in Kissimmee.
Great idea!
I love the scarf and the idea that i can make them my self! I am so excited about VBS wish i could find a preview near me.
I am really enjoying all the info and ideas. The scarfs look really neat.
Love the scarves, but not nearly as much as I love Lifeway VBS! <3
I love the scarf and ever since you sent the first picture I have been trying to find a way to have some for my workers.
I had such a great time at VBSI at Ridgecrest! Thank you for all the work to inspire our creativity!
Love the scarves and need them to go with the Plane we are making for state training and my church vbs.
Nope, it can’t get much better than that! 🙂 Unless of course, you were giving away some of those giant props!!! 🙂 We love you guys and your creativity & generosity! We will look for some of scarves and make our own as well!
I really enjoyed the VBS preview in Fort Worth, Texas. Well done.
Thank you so much for all the things that you guys do for VBS! It is wonderful to be able to share in the excitement of VBS with others through the Preview Events, the online community, the blog, and on Facebook and Twitter! I enjoy serving in VBS in my church, association, and state levels and it is great to interact with so many others who are excited about sharing Jesus in their communities!

I truly love all the posts of VBS. I have been looking on your web site since last July when my 1st VBS ended. For I wanted to know ahead of time what the theme was for 2012. I have already together our crafts for our little church for we are little with alittle budget. Our church is First Baptist Church of Ocklawaha in Ocklawaha, Florida. I so love all the posts I get and they so inspire me so much. This year I have been asked to be the VBS director & I am a bit scarey, but I know that my Lord will guide me through it with the help of all our people at church. And I couldn’t ask for such awesome help. Thank you so much for your ideas. Keep up the great work you all do. All the ideas including the scarves are so awesome. And you are all so aweseome. Thank you again!
Thanks for sharing how to make the scarves. Should be seeing them on clearance about now in the stores. :0)
I will definetely have these scarfs available to use as props during our family night picture. Now I need to hit the clearance aisles…unless I win yours of course!!
Simply love the scarves! Such a better idea for us in Alabama than the leather jackets!
Thank you for doing the VBS previews for all of us VBS folks. We love these events. The scarfs were cute. I wondered how they were made with the logos.
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE these scarves!!! They are a great addition to use as props….but could I win the one worn by Jeff???
ZOWIE!!!! I would love, love, love to win those scarves. I’m the VBS Team Director for the Ashe Baptist Association in NC and we are taking airplane pics at our training clinic for all our vbs leaders in our association!
Tje photos are a lot of fun and the scarves were great.
I was one of the ones that asked if I could buy it! Would love to win some. We love to take pictures of each of our kids and then laminate and send home with them.
The Nashville Preview Event was so much fun. I was inspired and encouraged by the enthusiasm of everyone.
Sounds like a great deal to me!!!
Something FREE……sounds like FUN!!!! Would love to win a set of these scarves! They really add to the set! Love to read your posts…get lots of ideas from them!
Enloyed the Nashville event and would love to win these scarfs.
Ok course I’ll leave a reply!!!! I love the scarf idea and would love to win them, but if not, I will certainly make them. To be honest, I already have the fleece!!!
love the scarves…am really excited abut the VBS theme this year…thanks for all the great ideas!!!
Thanks for the info! I’ve had my eye out for white scarves for this very purpose. Would love to win a pair!
Had a great time at Ridgecrest VBS Preview. Looking forward to winning the scarves.
Love the idea and the post (w/the scarves)! I just saw where scarves were %50 of at Wal-Mart. Perfect blog timing…I believe, God’s timing! Thankful for each and every vbs blog, the ideas and the excitement it builds. Thanks!
This Geek of the Week will be glad to take 2! I have my “hot knife” ready, donated “construction foam”, so send me those scarves and Wilkies Grove will be ready to “take off”!
Love the scarves! Had a great time at Preview!! Cant wait for VBS!
Wow, lots of great encouragement from you guys. So glad that everyone enjoyed the Previews! I can’t wait to make 3 lucky winners very happy next week!!
Attended the Ridgecrest Preview. It was amazing. Attended last year and it was so good went back this year and brought 4 others with me. Hope to bring more to next years. Looking forward to Vbs this summer.
I loved the scarf and will try and make some, but winning a set would be great too!
Thanks,
Penny Mourer
Awesome Scarf!!!! I am certainly going to try to make some for our VBS Crew; they will be as excited about them as I am.
Thanks for posting the picture and article on how to make them.
Carrie Hugeback
Would love to win the scarves…they would certainly help make our VBS amazing!
Love the scarves! Great idea.
I think the scarves are great! I also loved the goggles! Thanks for the fun pictures!
The iron on patch made a nice touch to the scarf. I had a blast at the Preview event in Fort Worth. We are ready to have VBS.
So fun!! Can’t wait to make some but would love to win a few to give out too!!
Absolutely loved the Ft. Worth “Amazing Wonders Aviation” training!! What a special time we had with all of the conferences attended and then the musical and a time of honoring Jeff!
Wonderful time in Ft. Worth for the “Amazing Wonders Aviation” Training for VBS
The scarves are a great touch in the photos. I am searching for white scarves or maybe white fabric and cut them out. This would be a great craft project. This is my 11th year directing VBS. I pray everyone has a blessed VBS!
All comments will help me prepare for my VBS students in 2012! Hope LUCKY is my middle name.
I attended the Ft. Worth, Texas event for the second year and was once again impressed with everything! I am recommending it to everyone!
Great idea and very cute! I think it will be a fabulous promo for this summer! -Thanks!
These scarves are amazing as was the training event in Nashville this weekend!
Love the scarves and now is a great time to pick some up cheap! Would love to win the first two though! Does anyone have any idea where to find a pilot hat? I would only need one of those!
I purchased several from a costume shop online…can’t remember the name…there are so many. Just Google “kids pilot hat” and you will find some great sites with them…I gave @ $8 for each.
I can hardly wait till VBS this year! I think I say that every year though. Lifeway your exciting approach to telling the greatest news every know to mankind is wonderful! I LOVE VBS
For the last 9 yrs I have been the association music team leader, as well as the photographer for my own church. I cant wait until our vbs flight is cleared for take off in June.
Would love to win me some scarves!
Love Lifeway VBS, Would love to have a set of scarves !
Perhaps scarves can be made from felt purchased at Walmart or other fabric stores by the yard. Felt does not have to be hemmed and can be fringed. The logo can be ironed on it, also. Felt is usually 60 inches wide. You could get 6 scarves out of one yard!
I love lifeway’s VBS and would love to win these scarves for out little church!
i would really love to win these for our little church. I am the youth pastor there and it would really be a blessing to us.
These a great! I hope I win so I can top off my costume for VBS!
What a fun idea for a vbs prop especially since summer is too hot for bomber jackets in Kansas! We like to give the kids something to wear to differentiate between groups and we could do these in different colors for each of the groups. What fun!
I would love the scarves. Had a great time at the preview event in Kissimmee!
Loved the scarves … gonna try to make our own!!!
I want to be one of the Three lucky folks!
Love the scarf! If I win I will share! Don’t think a fleece scarf would be smart attire to wear in the hot outside for my VBS registration duties!
This is a really great idea for VBS kick-off. We are going to invite some local pilots to our kick-off and maybe one of them will bring their small plane for us to use for a photo shoot that day. The scarfs are a great idea and they bring the picture together well.
We are definitely doing the “photo booth” idea! It looks so fun! The scarves look great, too…
love the scarves idea…am really excited about the VBS theme this year…thanks for all the great ideas!!!
