Step 1 Preparing the material

I cut a length of material that was 24" long by 3 1/2" wide. Fold the material so that the right sides of the material are together. Using the clips, clip the material to hold it in place whilst sewing.

Step 2 Sewing the material

Starting at the top, sew all the way down the edge of the material, leaving roughly a 1/4" seam allowance.

Step 3 Turning the material the right way around

Using a safety pin, attach the pin to one end of the material.

Push the safety pin through the material. As you go along you will be able to start to pull the material over itself. Push the pin all the way until it comes out the other end.

Your material should look like the picture below.

Step 4 Adding the elastic

Cut a piece of elastic 6 1/2" long. Secure a safety pin to either end of the elastic. Secure one end of the elastic to the material and push the other pin through the material until it comes out the other end.

Your material with the elastic through the middle should now look like the picture below.

Remove both the pins and hold the 2 sides of elastic over each other. Sew down the middle of the elastic to hold it together.

Step 5 Sewing up the scrunchie

Tuck one end of the material into the other end of the material. If your material is likely to fray you can fold down the sides of the material to make it look neater.

When you are happy, sew straight down the material where the material was joined to finish off the scrunchie.
