What You’ll Need:

Diy XL Scrunchie Tutorial

Fabric: Choose a fabric that has some stretch for that perfect scrunch. Velvet, cotton, satin, or even stretchy knits work well. 

Elastic Band: 8 inches or 20 cm of elastic (depending on your wrist or hair size).

Needle and Thread: For hand-sewing the scrunchie or using a sewing machine.

Fabric Scissors: To cut the fabric to size.

Safety Pin or Bodkin: To help feed the elastic through the fabric tube.

Optional Embellishments: Ribbons, beads, or other decorations if you want to make your scrunchie extra special.

Step-by-Step Guide to Making an XL Scrunchie:

Step 1: Cut Your Fabric

Start by cutting your fabric into a strip that measures 48 inches or 122 cm long and 6 inches or 15 cm wide. This size works great for most scrunchies, but you can adjust the length if you want a bigger or smaller scrunchie.


Step 2: Prepare the Fabric

Fold the fabric in half, short sides together, lengthwise. Pin the edges to keep them aligned. Sew the short edge with a ¼-inch or 1 cm seam allowance, leaving the small space on the centre.

Step 3: Fold the Fabric

Lay the fabric flat on the table.
Fold one side of the fabric towards the center .
Fold the other side in the same way, meeting the first fold.
Now, fold the lower edge up to meet the upper edge, so the fabric is like a long rectangle with both sides tucked in.

Step 4: Sew the Long Edge

Pin the fabric together if needed.
Sew along the long edge (where the folds meet),about a 1/4-inch or 1 cm seam.

Step 5: Turn the Fabric Tube

Turn the tube from the short side and from the opening you left previously.

Step 6: Add Elastic

Cut a piece of elastic 8 inches or 20 cm, and thread it through the tube using a safety pin.
Sew the ends of the elastic together.

Step 7: Final Touch

Close the opening where you inserted the elastic using a hidden stitch, your Regular scrunchie is complete! Give it a little fluff to help it gather and scrunch up. Pop it around your wrist, or gather your hair into a ponytail for a fun and stylish look.
