Hair Scrunchies


Custom hair scrunchies.

Materials:

fabric-covered elastic for ponytails
1/4 yard of fabric(s)
pinking shears
optional: glue

Steps:

Cut the fabric into strips 9" long and 2" wide, using as many different types of fabric as desired.

Tie the strips around the fabric-covered elastic.

Cut out objects from the fabric pattern(s) and glue them to the ends of some of the strips, if desired

Tips:

Cutting the strips with pinking shears will help to prevent the fabric from unraveling.

Store the scrunchies on the cardboard core of a roll of paper towels or wrapping paper.

Use the scrunchies as bows on packages - they're decorative and also make an additional gift.

Another way of creating custom hair scrunchies results in a very different outcome:

Materials:

1/4 yard of fabric
8" length of braided elastic, 1/4" wide
scissors
sewing equipment

Steps:

Cut a 4 1/2"-wide strip of fabric to desired length.

Fold the fabric in half lengthwise, right sides together, and stitch a 1/2" seam on the long edge.

Turn the fabric tube right side out. Insert the elastic through tube, and stitch the ends of the elastic together securely.

Fold the fabric under 1/4" on one end, and slide it over the opposite end.

Slip-stitch the ends of the fabric together, being careful not to catch the elastic in the stitching.
