Hi there, hope you're all okay !
So this is the first time I've done anything like this since Year 11 textiles!
I saw this little do-it-yaself the other day in a magazine and thought I would have a little go and share with you guys just how easy it is and a fun little thing to make for the creative people out there.
So here goes nothing!
For this you are going to need ;
Step 3 :

So here goes nothing!
For this you are going to need ;
- Material of your choice (make sure it's 1m long for a large scrunchie)
- Elastic (15cm per scrunchie)
- Needle
- Thread (choose a similar colour to the material)
- Safety Pin
- Tape Measure
- Scissors
Step 1 :
For the large scrunchie which I've made, cut your fabric of choice 20cm wide and 95cm long.
If you're wanting to make a smaller scrunchie I tried it out with 10cm wide and 40cm long which works pretty well.
Step 2 :
Once you have cut your prefered size of fabic fold it in half inside out, lengthways.
Sew along the seam (the long side) and leave the small ends open.
Step 3 :
Turn the tube the right way round, this is a little fidely but you can be a little rough with it aslong as you have sewn the seam pretty srong, if not just be a little gentle.
Cut the elastic to about 15cm for a large scrunchie, about 10 for a small one.
Feed the elastic through the material, making sure you keep hold of both ends, put a saftey pin on one end to help it stop from pulling through into the material.
Tie the elastic band into a double knot.
Step 4:
Fold the ends of the fabric which you have left open, over on them selfes to create a neat hem on both sides.
Slide one end of the scrunchie into the other to create a small hem.
The simpily sew together.
And here is the finished product, wear it in a bun, around a doughnut or just in a pony tail.
Enjoy !
Enjoy !
I wasn't sure when I first saw that scrunchies were making a comeback, but I think they'd actually look so cute around a messy high bun and am converted! This is a great idea to make one yourself, and looks fool proof- I might have to give it a go:) xx
