Ok so im going to venture out and do my very first tutorial
today im going to show you how to make your own scrunchie
These can be used for all sorts of things like dance or gymnastics even school...
This is a 5 min project and you can use fabric scraps
Ok first things first cutting ....
For this scrunchie i did 5 inch by 18 inch
Then fold over one of the short ends to create a hem this just makes it neater at the end
Fold the material in half lengthways and sew up the long side to make a "tunnel" as my daughter calls it.
like this :)
turn the fabric so the right side is out and all pretty
so it looks like this
Elastic i cut mine to 8 inches (i cut mine a bit longer in this photo whoops) you can make it shorter this will give more scrunch but not many twists around the hair
feed the elastic through the fabric
join the ends of the elastic to create a loop
Feed the unhemmed fabric end inside the neat one making sure to line up the join of the side stitches then with a zigzag stitch sew the fabric closed making sure that you catch both sides
here is what it looks like when its finished :)
and here it is in the hair. Doesnt it look so pretty
