Warm weather is coming and one of the best ways to beat the heat is to pull your hair back off your face. But why stick with boring rubber bands and hair ties when you can use a cute scarf or bow scrunchie. These must-have summer accessories are EVERYWHERE but at $12-$20 each at stores like Anthropologie and Free People, buying just a few of these will definitely leave a dent in a fashionista’s wallet. I decided to pull out my sewing machine and see if I could make some of these fun scarf and bow scrunchies on my own. This DIY is super simple (no advanced sewing experience necessary), extremely forgiving (sometimes cutting material in a straight line can be hard), and affordable (you only need 1/4 yard of material). In today’s blog post, I share 3 different ways to make a DIY scarf and bow scrunchie that will luxe up your ponytail, top-knot, or half-pony hairstyle this summer!
What you Need:
- 1/4 yard of non-stretch fabric (I used cotton, chambray, and chiffon for my scrunchies)
- 7 inches of 3/8″ elastic
- safety pin
- ruler
- fabric scissors
- thread
- pencil
- paper for pattern

Cute..maybe..? I would've liked to see how it looks being worn on your head...guessing the end result is like wrapping a ponytail with a bandana...?
