Step 2 – Stitch

Fold the length of the fabric with the wrong side out, that is the right side facing each other after the fold. With 1/2 inch seam allowance stitch the loose ends together.

Step 3 – Turn Right Way Out

Step 4 – Press

If you are using a cotton fabric then give it a good press. For Lycra fabrics, just try and flatten it out a little with your fingers. The seam should be on one side of the tube so it is not easily visible.

Step 5 – Thread the Elastic

Now attach the safety pin to the elastic and thread it through the tube. Make sure you pin the first end so it doesn’t pull all the way through by mistake. Your fabric will gather on top of the elastic.

Step 6 – Stitch the Elastic

You can stitch the elastic ends to make a loop by overlapping ends or you can just knot it combining the ends. Make sure you cut an extra 1/2 inch of elastic when want to knot, so that knotting will not reduce the length.

Step 7 – Final Stitch of the Ends

Pull the elastic around so the join is hidden. Then feed the raw edge of the tube into the pressed edge. If you used Lycra fabric for your DIY scrunchie and don’t have a pressed edge then just put one end into the other. Overlap it by 1/2″ (12mm) so the inside raw edge is hidden.
