| 3) Starting approximately 1" from one end,
sew the side seam using 1/4" seam allowance and
stop sewing about 1" before you reach the other
end. You now have a tube.
4) Right side out the tube. An easy way
to do this is to attach a safety pin to one end,
be sure the pin is closed, and push the pin into
and through the tube. The material will
follow the pin and it will then be right side
out.
5) Now, you have to sew the two 4" ends
together. To do this, pin the ends with
right sides together and sew across the edge
using a 1/4" seam allowance.
6) Attach a safety pin to one end of the
elastic being sure it is securely closed.
Thread the pin through one side and back out.
You can either hold the other end of the elastic
so it doesn't get pulled inside or use a second
safety pin and attach it to the opening of the
scrunchies.
7) Remove the safety pin(s) and sew the two
ends of the elastic together.
8) Push the elastic inside. It is now
time to close up the opening. You can do
this either by hand stitching the opening closed
or by top stitching the opening closed. In
either case, be sure to tuck the raw edges to
the inside before sewing.
Idea: If you are making
scrunchies as a gift for someone, an attractive
way to give them is to put several in a clear
cellophane bag and tie it closed with ribbon.
Another great idea when giving as a gift is to
make one scrunchie for each month of the year
such as January - Snowflake; February -
Valentines; March - St. Patrick's Day; April -
Easter; May and June - flowers; July -
patriotic; August - Tropical; September - school
or fall print; October - Halloween; November -
Thanksgiving and December - Christmas.
