Video tutorial! “How to make a scrunchie”

This easy-to-follow guide covers key points beginners often struggle with—like cutting fabric, machine sewing tips, and fabric alignment. A must-see for beginners!

Step-by-step photos! ① Basic scrunchie tutorial

Start by making a basic scrunchie. Step photos are handy for quickly checking the flow and process.

  1. With the front sides facing each other, put together two types of fabrics (floral and solid this time) and sew both edges (1cm seam allowance).

  2. Press the seam open using an iron. Fold the top layer of the circular fabric toward the center.

  3. Align the seams of the bottom fabric, then fold it in half, wrapping the top fabric inside.

  4. While avoiding the fabric that has turned inward, sew with a 1cm seam allowance. Pull the fabric out as you sew around the entire circumference, taking care not to sew the fabric wrapped in step 3. When you reach a point where you cannot sew straight, pull the inner fabric out and continue sewing while aligning the fabric edges. Stop sewing, leaving a 5cm opening for turning.

  5. Turn it inside out and insert the elastic through the opening.

  6. Once the elastic is inserted, tie both ends securely and close the opening.

Step-by-step photos! ② How to Make a Ruffled Style Scrunchie

Once you have mastered the basic scrunchie, why not try making a ruffled one? Besides using it as a hair accessory, it looks cute worn on your wrist or attached to a chain as a bag charm.

  1. Before sewing the fabric together, create an opening for the elastic and sew it in the same way as a basic scrunchie.

  2. Turn it inside out, close the opening, then sew two rows of stitches along the seam allowance to create the opening for the elastic.

  3. Insert the elastic through the opening to finish.

  4. The top is the basic scrunchie, and the bottom is the ruffled style scrunchie.
