This week we are once again making hair scrunchies but this time we are using our favorite store bought hair ties. This version works well for those with thin hair.

Fabulous idea you are awesome love it just the right size and well explained great job thank you
Thanks for the kind words, I'm so glad you liked it!
Thank you! I've been watching tons of videos on how to make a scrunchie with a hair tie but your video made so much more sense to me.
You’re very welcome 🦩. I’m so glad my video was helpful.
That was impressive Robin...I'm off to give it a try lol!
It’s like magic right?
Oh now I know what I can make for the nieces this Christmas. I thought the turning would be difficult but you made it look easy. Thanks
I was surprised at how easy the turning was too. It actually went easier and quicker than turning a standard tube of fabric. I’m sure your nieces will love their new scrunchies. Then they can tell their friends that their Auntie made them 💜
Thank You
Thanks for this. So easy to understand and follow.
Thank you. Happy sewing.
Love it! I may have to add this to my sewing list to sell with my bags. 💜
Scrunchies are big sellers at craft fairs etc.
I have thinner hair and you are right the ones with the 1/4 elastic don't quite cut it for me. Will be doing this one for sure. Thanks for the great version. Happy holidays.

Great tutorial! Thank-you 🤩
Glad it was helpful!
Best technique I’ve seen, thank you!!!
Thanks! 🦩
Fun and useful video! I am looking forward to making these. ❤️
This is incredible and was so easy to follow! Thank you so much for sharing!!!
I’ve even made these scrunchies on baby size hair ties and my girls LOVE THEM🥰
Thank you. Wow, baby scrunchies must be tiny. Awesome job!
How cute!
Thank you.
Thank you 😊😊😊
Another great project. Hope to try this one.
Thanks Kathy! 🎄
Hi, that was one excellent presentation! Albeit a bit fiddly! Thanks
Thank you. Yes, a bit fiddly but still easy enough.
Over the moon!! One of my first sewing items and it looks beautiful 🤩 Ty so muchhh !!!
Congratulations!!
WoW! This looks awesome! Can’t wait to try making them this way! Thank you 👏👏👏👏👏👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
🎄☃️
I do prefer using hair tie and this method is really helpful! I usually cut them off! Thank you!
🦩
I've never used a sewing machine before, but i have a feeling this is going to be a great begginer project 😊
One question though, what kind of stich do you use to sew the scrunchie?
Welcome! A new sewing machine is exciting. Most of the time you will be using a basic straight stitch when you are sewing two pieces of fabric together. Most machines automatically go to a straight stitch when you turn your sewing machine on. Your manual should show you how to sew a basic straight stitch. I also suggest searching here on UA-cam for your sewing machine make and model. I’ve always found helpful videos on how to use my sewing machine. Tips and tricks I didn’t know. Happy Sewing!!
@rsislandcrafts Thank you so much, I've been watching your videos, and I have found many helpful videos to help with my sewing journey 😊
Awesome! Thanks for watching.
Thank you, it worked really well.
🎄🎄Hi Robin I always make my own hair ties. I love yours! I also crochet 🧶 around those same hair ties. I crochet a hyperbolic crochet stitch all around the elastic & it’s a soft hair tie. I can always find my hair ties now. Thanks for sharing great tips. 🥰💕🧶🧵🏠👍👍🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄
Hi Maria. I’ve made crocheted scrunchies in the past too. It’s easy to match the yarn color to an outfit.
Do you have a tutorial for making the long tail or bunny scrunchies?
No, I’m sorry I do not.
Have n9t seen this method before either, that makes 2 new versions I've seen today. Excellent I've got hair ties to spare to. practice on. Robyn, do you have a fabric type preference ?
Basic quilting cotton as seen in this video works well. Lots of colors and designs to choose from. I have short hair but if I had long hair and make a variety of scrunchies I think I’d want a variety of fabrics. Something silly or super soft would be fun. Harder to sew with but the finished item would be fun. I would stick with thinner fabrics. Minky may be fun but It would be harder to sew for this project. If you have a variety of fabrics in your stash then try them all and see what works for you and your hair. You can even use old t-shirts or dresses etc. I hope that helps.
Anyone if you could answer this. What Thread count do you use? 40, 50, 60 ect. Thanks... And where do you purchase it from please all information is great information. Thanks
I prefer the essential threads from connecting threads. Some machines prefer certain thread brands over others but I’ve been lucky so far. Weight is generally determined by what your sewing and type of fabric. Since I mostly sew quilting cottons I use a 50 weight thread. I mainly stick with a 100% cotton thread but others prefer a mix of cotton and polyester. Polyester threads cannot be used in projects that go in the microwave or come into contact with anything hot like a potholder. Ask 10 quilters and you may get 10 different answers.
Just a thought make your fold on the short end and press then sew and turn as explained this should make it easier to tuck in other short end and stitch done less fiddling w trying to fold and sew
Thank you for the tip. I’ll try It the next time I make scrunchies. 🦩
ty i watched another one and she didnt show the hairtie well i was all confused!!! i think i can do this
You’re very welcome. You got this! Slow and steady. Happy sewing!!
AWESOME!!!
Good evening Ms Robin! I just love the way you sew the scrunchies, I have not tried to do any of them yet, they look so pretty, I think that will be a good project to sew to give away to charities . I notice that girls use them a lot. Also large size bands will make a cute wrist band. Left over fabrics can be used or special fabrics to match their outfit. Thank you so much for such an excellent tutorial.

I was surprised that this version (around a hair tie) was actually easy to sew. The idea of sewing around the elastic tie seemed very difficult but it was Easy peasy. I think this style was easier and quicker to make than the 1/4” elastic. They would be wonderful for charity sewing. You can even sew together smaller scraps to get a larger piece. That would be fun!
Best video
Which is the good one, elastic or hair tie.
For most it’s personal preference and how thick your hair is. I have short hair now but when It was long my preference was the hair tie version.
Hi Robin, can you please tell me where you ordered the zippers from? I have a pouch project due for my friend which calls for 25 zippers. I don't like doing zipper at all, but I guess it's better that buttons. Have a great day. Your scrunchies look so easy, but I know your trick, you make it look easy and I struggle with it. lol
Hi Pat! I buy my zippers from ZipIt on Etsy.
I struggle too, Pat. The difference is I’ve usually made the project a few times before I do a video for you guys. 🎄☃️❄️
@@rsislandcraftsThanks so much.
Thanks!
🎄
Where do you put the hair tie
The hair tie will be inside your fabric.
Great tutorial - I'll share this to my Pinterest board :)
Thank you!
HOLY SHIT THANKYOU
You’re welcome. 🦩
i want to start a business but this is so hard I can figure it out and my sewing machine keeps getting jammed too I'm frustrated
I’m sorry. A jammed sewing machine is very frustrating.
Hi Robin, I just wanted to thank you for your tutorial. I've made one from your tutorial! I've never done anything like this before. I was so happy that I've included this in my video vlog this week at 16.23 here: ua-cam.com/video/vIuqoCFcwF4/v-deo.html so thank you very very much x x x
Your scrunchie turned out very cute.
You have a habit of really dragging stuff out. C'mon man 🤪
