These Extra-Large Scrunchies Are a Real Statement & Super-Easy to Make
Hey guys, today I’m going to show you how to make extra-large scrunchies. I feel like scrunchies have become super popular recently, especially oversized silk scrunchies like these ones.
DIY giant scrunchies are really easy to make, so let’s jump right into it.
Tools and materials:
- Paper
- Ruler
- Marker
- Pins
- Scissors
- Sewing machine
- Silk or satin fabric
- Elastic
1. Draw the scrunchie pattern
Start by measuring a rectangle 100-110cm (39-43 inches) by 23-24cm (9-9.4 inches) on paper to make the giant scrunchie pattern.
2. Pin the pattern to the fabric
Pin the paper pattern to the fabric along the edges.
3. Cut out the fabric
Cut around the pattern, leaving a 1cm (0.4 inches) seam allowance on the longer sides. You don’t need to leave a seam allowance on the shorter sides.
4. Cut the elastic
Cut a piece of elastic 21-22cm (8.3-8.7 inches) long.
5. Fold and sew
Fold the fabric in half lengthways, right sides together. Then, sew along that length.
6. Turn the fabric
Turn the fabric right side out again.
7. Position and sew the fabric
Feed the elastic through the tunnel of fabric and stitch the ends together.
8. Stitch the fabric ends together
Take the ends of the fabric, tuck one into the other, then fold the outside end in slightly to hide the raw edge. Pin, then sew.
How to make extra-large scrunchies
Here’s the finished result! This was so easy to make and I love that this oversized silk scrunchie is such a statement. The silky material looks so good all scrunched up like that, right?
I like wearing mine in a half-up hairstyle like this, so the size of the scrunchie looks even more giant!
