How To Make Scrunchies 

Supplies

• Fabric
• Hair ties
• Ruler
• Tailor’s chalk
• Scissors and thread
• Sewing machine

Instructions

Measure an 18” by 4” rectangle from the fabric.

Use the Tailor’s chalk to mark 1.5” at each end of the rectangle.

Fold the rectangle in half, wrong side out.

Place the hair tie in the fold and pin at the 1.5” mark.

Stitch the raw edge length together with a ⅝” seam allowance, starting at the 1.5” mark. The fabric will scrunch up as you sew, so straighten the edge along the way. Stop sewing at the opposite 1.5” mark and back stitch.

Flip the scrunchie right side out.

Sew the raw edge width together.

Stitch the opening closed.
