Instructions
-
First, cut your fabric 40 inches long and 4 inches wide. The wider you cut the fabric, the fuller the scrunchie. The narrower, the thinner.
-
Measure your elastic about 12 inches, or smaller depending on how tight you want your scrunchie to be.
-
Turn the raw ends of the fabric in and sew in place.
-
Next, with the right sides of the fabric together, sew the long side of the fabric and turn it right side out.
-
With a safety pin attached to one end of the elastic, thread the elastic through the tube, making sure neither end of the elastic gets lost in the middle!
-
Sew the two ends of the elastic together.
-
Sew the open edges closed with a top seam.
-
Don't forget to trim your elastic!
-
You're done!
