Materials Needed

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Step 1: Cutting the Fabric

    • Measure and Cut: Cut a rectangle of your desired fabric to 16 inches by 5 inches. For this tutorial, we are using satin fabric for a sleek and shiny look.

  2. Step 2: Folding and Pinning

    • Fold the Fabric: Fold the fabric lengthwise with the right sides facing each other.
    • Pin the Edges: Pin along the edge, leaving a 1-inch gap on each side.

  3. Step 3: Stitching the Fabric

    • Sew the Edge: Stitch along the pinned edge, making sure to leave the 1-inch gaps at each end.
    • Turn the Fabric: Flip the fabric right side out, so the shiny side is now on the outside.

  4. Step 4: Inserting the Elastic

    • Prepare the Elastic: Cut a 7-inch piece of elastic.
    • Insert the Elastic: Attach a safety pin to one end of the elastic and thread it through the fabric tube, ensuring it doesn’t twist.
    • Secure the Ends: Pin the ends of the elastic together before stitching them securely.

  5. Step 5: Finishing the Scrunchie

    • Close the Gap: After stitching the elastic, sew the 1-inch opening closed.
    • Final Touches: Ensure all stitches are secure and the fabric is evenly distributed around the elastic.

Additional Tips and Tricks

  • Tip 1: Use a safety pin to easily guide the elastic through the fabric tube.
  • Tip 2: Experiment with different fabrics and colors to match your style.
  • Tip 3: Adjust the fabric length and width to create scrunchies of various sizes.
