EQUIPMENT
- Sewing Machine
- Sewing Needle
- Rotary cutter & board or Scissors
Materials
- 1 Scrap fabric no smaller than 5x28 inch
- 1 Thread to match the fabric
- 1 Ponytail medium size
Instructions
- Cut out 1 rectangle of fabric, measuring 5x28 inches. Use a rotary cutter and mat to get a straight edge. Or, draw straight lines onto the fabric that mark the size of the rectangle, then cut along the lines using a pair of scissors.
- Connect the two sides that measure 5 inches by folding the fabric, while making sure that the pattern faces inwards. Pin in place.
- Sew the 2 sides together along the short edge (where it measures 5 inches) with a 1/8 seam allowance.
- Without turning the fabric inside out place a ponytail around the fabric.
- Fold each side of the fabric down by 1/4 inch. Connect the two sides and pin in place as you go. Do this across the whole scrunchie. (Once you are done you should have something that will resemble a scrunchie).
- Sew the 2 sides of the scrunchie together with a 1/8 inch seam allowance.
- Using a sewing needle, hide the two extra strings inside of the scrunchie. Cut any pieces that continue to hang out. (See notes if more detail is needed).
- Enjoy your new scrunchie!!
