Got some scrap fabric left?
Every girl out there knows just how important scrunchies can be.
Theyre also ridiculously easy to misplacenotoriously, so, in fact.
Therightscrunchie can make any outfit look complete and put together.
But thewrongone can just as easily put a damper on it.
Just imagine pairing a red and white polka dot outfit with, say, a purple scrunchie.
Nope…just,no.
Imagine never having to worry about whether you have the right scrunchies in your stash to match your outfits.
So, lets get started right away!
Then, pull the edge of the fabric downjust one centimeter just doand fold it.
This is your seam allowance, so grab a couple of pins and pin it in place.
Next, make another seam allowance at the bottom of the fabric, too.
Step 2
Fold the fabric in half down the middle.
Step 3
Grab your needle and thread, or head over to your sewing machine.
Then, sew the edges shut all the way down the length of the fabric.
Step 5
The next step is to get the elastic inside the scrunchie.
Grab a safety pin and attach the end of the elastic strip to the pin.
Fasten the safety pin to one end of the scrunchie.
Next, attach another safety pin, this time to the other end of the elastic.
Secure the elastic in place with a pin so it doesnt snap back or release the fabric.
Step 7
Now its time to attach both ends of the elastic band together.
If you knotted the elastic, grab a pair of scissors and snip off the excess bits.
And, there you go!
Just look at your fabulous scrunchie.
I can already tell that youre going to be making scrunchies by the dozen!
What is the Best Material to Make Scrunchies?
Well, silk or satin scrunchies will not tug at your hair and pull out the strands.
Theyre softer and will slide off easily.
But, that being said, cotton is also a great fabric to make scrunchies from.
Its much easier to handle than silk, so its a popular choice for beginners.
