Assemble all the supplies you’ll need for this project.

Lay the fabric on your work surface with the right side facing down.

Fold the edge of the fabric about a centimeter to create a seam allowance and pin it in place. Repeat this for the opposite end as well.

Using a sewing machine or a needle and thread, sew the ends you just pinned.

Turn the scrunchie out so that the right side is now facing out.

Grab some elastic and attach one end of it to a safety pin. Then, pin the safety pin to the edge of one of the openings in the fabric.

Next, attach the other end of the elastic to another safety pin. Use the first safety pin you attached to the fabric as an anchor of sorts. Now, pull the other safety pin through the opening and out through the other opening.

The elastic is now looped through the fabric so pin the ends together to prevent them from snapping back. You’ll see that the fabric is now ruffled as it stretches over the elastic.

Next, either sew both ends of the elastic together or knot them together before snipping the extra bits off.

Then, pull the ends of the fabric together. Fold them and line them up so that they overlap neatly over each other and the elastic is hidden.

Finally, sew the ends of the fabric together and voila, your scrunchie is ready!
