Follow Our Simple Steps Below:
01
Firstly, you will need a piece of fabric which is 18 inches long and 4 inches wide.
02
Next you will need to fold the fabric in half and take it to the sewing machine!
03
Start 1 and a half inches down on the fold, and stitch, remembering to reverse stitch to keep the sewing in place.
04
Stitch all the way down leaving the same distance at the bottom, (1 and a half inches) remember to also reverse stitch this end too.
05
Then you will need to pull the tube through so that the right side of the fabric is on show. The end result should look like the image on the left!
06
You then need to stitch both ends of the tube together, this is why you leave the 1 and a half inches open at the beginning, we use a 1cm seam allowance.
07
You will then by left with a complete circled tube, like this!
08
Next you will need to cut a piece of elastic that is 8 inches long. Then grab a safety pin to pull the elastic through the tube.
09
Once you have pulled the elastic through, all you need to do is stitch the elastic together on the sewing machine and hand sew the hole up.
Ta daaa, you’ve just made your first zero waste hair scrunchie!
