Maker Fashion Tips: Scrunchies

Written By: Sophia UNT Spark Maker

Do you ever find your hair in your face while studying, cooking, or working on a cool project? A simple scrunchie can save the day! Best of all, it is super simple to make your own!

—----------------------------

You will need:

• About 18 x 4 inches of fabric. I used some leftover t-shirt fabric, but most fabrics will work for this project.
• 8-9 inches of ¼ and inch elastic. This might change depending how large you want your scrunchy to be.
• Scissors
• Sewing machine or needle and thread
• Safety pins

—----------------------------

Let's Get Started!

Step 1: Once you've cut your scrunchie fabric, fold it over, aligning the ends of the good side to the good side of the fabric. Your piece should be roughly 18 x 2 inches.

Step 2: Now, you're ready to sew along the raw edge of the fabric. Leave a gap so you can turn your fabric right side out.

Step 3: Turn half of your tube to the right side and sew the short ends together.

Step 4: Turn your fabric right side out through the gap.

Step 5: Attach a safety pin to your elastic and feed it through the scrunchie using the gap. Be careful during this step to avoid poking yourself with the safety pin.

Step 6: Sew the seam gap closed, and you're done!
