4 Ways To Make Scrunchies

My daughter started wearing scrunchies a few months ago and it reminded me of when I was a kid and wore them all the time. I use to make my own and thought Id share how I made them with you. The video below demonstrates 4 different ways. The written directions are for the 3rd option and are provided by Martha Stewart’s website. Click here, to see her full directions and more DIY’s.

You’ll Need:
Tape measure
Fabric (we used silk, crushed velvet and cotton)
Fabric scissor
Pins
Elastic (1/4″)
Safety pin
Needle / thread

Directions:

Cut fabric into 3-1/2-by-22-inch strip.
Fold fabric lengthwise so it’s inside out and pin along the center.
Sew a straight line across the edge and remove pins once you’re done.
Pull the strip right side out. Attach safety pin at one end and weave the pin through the inside of the tube and pull it out on the opposite end.
Cut elastic nine inches and attach pin to one end.
Thread the elastic through the tube.
Remove the pin and tie the elastic into a knot.
Fold in the edges to create an even seam and tuck one opening over the other. Pin to hold the fabric in place and sew straight across to join the two sides.
