[Great as a gift] Easy DIY scrunchie: how to make one

lighterutatane
A person from the melodic hardcore boom generation who loves music, photography, and eating. I’ve been going to live houses for over 20 years. I’m at the age where summer festivals are starting to feel tough physically. I sometimes try shooting live photos and videos for MVs. I’m not great at English, so I often listen to straightforward Japanese rock that hits directly, but if someone recommends something, I’ll listen to anything—Western or Japanese—broadly and casually. I like cooking while listening to music; it’s a nice way to relieve stress.

A gorgeous and cute scrunchie for quickly gathering your hair.

You can find all kinds of scrunchies at 100-yen shops and accessory stores, but why not make your own using fabric with patterns you love—something cute enough to wear on your wrist, too?

Scrunchies with contrasting panels take a bit more effort, but they’re all relatively easy to make, so they’re beginner-friendly for those new to sewing.

You can even make them by hand, so it’s recommended for people who don’t have a sewing machine or who have lots of fabric scraps at home!

Slim scrunchie made with ribbon

How to make a slim scrunchie using 100-yen shop ribbons ♪ It’s easy and perfect for mass producing ♡

Slim scrunchie made with ribbon

Here’s how to make a thin, simple scrunchie using 2 cm-wide ribbon.

Place two ribbons right sides together and sew both long edges.

Turn it right side out, thread the elastic through, and sew the opening closed—that’s all there is to it.

However, because the ribbon is narrow, turning it right side out can be a bit tricky and requires a knack.

Leave the sewing threads at the top and bottom slightly long, and use those threads with a yarn tapestry needle or an elastic threader to guide them to the opposite opening as you turn the tube right side out.

Be careful not to pull too hard, as the thread can snap; the key is to turn it slowly and gently.
