How To Make Scrunchies 

Supplies

• Scrunchie pattern
• Fabric (at least 1/4 yard)
• Hair ties
• Tailor’s chalk
• Scissors and thread
• Sewing machine

Instructions

Use the scrunchie pattern to cut the necessary amount of fabric. Then, with the pattern’s guide and Tailor’s chalk, mark a line 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 line.

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

Flip the scrunchie right side out.

Sew the raw edge width together.

Stitch the opening closed.
