In this tutorial, I’m showing you how to make a bow hair tie, specifically knotted hair ties.


You can use any fabric for scrunchies. I’m going to be making these with two different kinds, linen and organza fabric. Let’s see how it turns out!

Tools and materials: 

  • Fabric
  • Hair elastic
  • Sewing materials
  • Ruler
  • Fabric chalk
  • Scissors
Measuring fabric

1. Measure and cut your fabric

Using whatever fabric you choose, measure and mark the width of your fabric, using a ruler to keep your lines straight.

Measuring fabric

For the linen, I measured 3-4 inches in width and for the organza, I measured around 6-7 inches in width.

Cutting fabric

Then, cut out the strip of fabric.

Sewing fabric

2. Fold and sew

Fold the fabric strip in half and then sew along the cut and rough edges.

Cutting a triangle

3. Cut a triangle 

On one end of the folded fabric, cut a triangle from edge to corner.

Turning tube inside out

Then turn the tube inside out and sew the open edge closed.

Tying knot

4. Tie a knot around an elastic

Insert the sewn tube through the elastic and then tie a simple knot. 

Tying more knots

5. Tie knots around the entire elastic

Continue tying knots around the entire elastic until you run out of space.

Closing off the scrunchie

6. Secure

Finally, tie together the two tails in a knot to close off the scrunchie. Use multiple knots to make sure it’s super secure.
