Diy Scrunchie With A Hair Tie Or Band

Hi, I'm Mara from 5 out of 4 patterns and welcome to a free tutorial for our scrunchie pattern. Now this is really awesome. The pattern is free, the tutorial is free, the video is free and we have two different kinds to choose from the link for the scrunchie made with elastic is in the description box below, but today we're going to make a scrunchie using an everyday, hairband or hair Tie depending what you call it and that that's really all we're doing today and it's super fun and super popular, let's jump right in make sure you've cut your fabric 17 inches long by three and a half inches wide now fold, one short in to the wrong Side 3/8 inch and press and then repeat on the other short end now you're gon na unfold, those but you're not going to get rid of those press marks. Those are going to be helpful to you later now. Wrap the fabric right sides together matching long ends around one side of your hair tie or your hairband. So the long edges, together scratching the fabric around the hairband or tear tie as you go, continue sewing to the end of the long edge. Now turn your fabric right side out and refold those short ends of fabric that we pressed earlier refold, those to the wrong side, 3/8 of an inch. If you'd like to spice up your scripty a little bit add a bow. Take two pieces cut from the pattern and place right sides together, leaving an opening of one to two inches so around the edge with a 1/4 inch seam allowance backstitching at the beginning and at the end now trim the seam allowance to 1/8 inch and snip off Corners at the tips go ahead and turn your bow right side out and use something pointy to push out those tips now press it use a ladder stitch to close the opening and remember that, there's a sewing school video just for the ladder stitch linked in the Description box below by that bow around your scrunt to your hairband and have a great day. My favorite thing about this particular free scrunchie pattern is that I can pick one of a hundred hair ties and hair bands that I have all over my house and quickly make a scrunchie for my kids or their friends and and it's free, and so I hope That you enjoyed this tutorial and then you will click Subscribe below and then you will join us on our journey as we never stop sewing and never stop growing.
