Homemade Scrunchies

Here’s another craft idea for you to do with your girl- scout troop or your daughters at home. If you have some scrap material, towels or sheets, this is an easy project to do in 30 minutes or less. Today I would like to show you how to make homemade hair ties or scrunchies. Buying these in the store can get very expensive. Why not make these at home for less than half the price you would pay in a store.

Here’s what you will need: Little pieces of material, towels or sheets. You will need a scissors and ruler to make your pattern and some elastic.

1.       Take your scrap material,towels or sheets and draw your pattern out. I made mine 18 inches long by 4 inches wide. Cut your pattern out.

2.       Take your strip of material and fold it in half. Sew up the side leaving the ends open.

3.       Take a safety pin and pin it into one end and start pulling the material inside out.

4.       Take a piece of elastic and stretch it to almost 18 inches. Cut the elastic. 

5.       Sew one end of your elastic to the inside or your material.

6.       Take your safety pin and pin it into the other end of your elastic. Push the safety pin through to the other end of your material.

7.       The elastic will stretch as you pull this through. Sew the piece of elastic to the end of your material. 

8.       Sew your ends together and you have a homemade hair tie or scrunchie.

This is a fun and easy project you can do in under 30 minutes. For pennies, you can make your own homemade scrunchies. I like making things at home and saving money. You can make these scrunchies any size you like. I hope you like your homemade scrunchies from Suzie Homemaker.
