So I've made a scrunchie (see below!!!), and I wanted to share how to make them!
Materials:
Fabric- I used a fat quarter and used 16cm x 50cm (any fabric that is somewhat flexible is good- don't use something that's too stiff otherwise you'll be struggling later on!)
Scissors- make sure that they're sharp enough to cut the fabric!
Sewing needle & thread (preferably the thread is colour matched) (or machine- up to you!)
26cm Elastic (I used 6mm braided)
Steps:
- Cut fabric to shape and fold in half longways, pattern/nice side in
- Start sewing the fabric and leaving a centimetre gap towards the short edge side, and about a centimetre in- I used a running stich, but whatever you use is fine as long as it joins the fabric together to make a tube!
- Once sewing is done- start flipping the tube outside in! Use a pencil to help you if the tube gets stuck partway.
- Measure out and cut 26cm of elastic and then thread it through the tube, bunching up the fabric as you go. Tie or sew the elastic ends together.
- Place one end of open scrunchie into the other, and then sew closed.
There you have it! A scrunchie!
