Thank you for this video. I've been trying to make scrunchies and did it the second way. Never could get the seams right. I'll be trying your first method
Thanks so much for the kind words❤️ What issue have you been having with the seams? Maybe you can also try the burrito method from this video? ua-cam.com/video/i52EW2n_gdo/v-deo.html
@@darahandmadeau I've tried the burrito method and I didn't care for it. I'm going to try your first method. It looks so much easier than the way I've been doing it. I will definitely let you know how it turns out. I look forward to more videos
I finally made the scrunchie as you did in the first one. Turned out perfect. Much easier than the other way I was doing it. Thank you again for the video and I look forward to more
You just made my life a whole lot easier lol. I have a vision impairment and I want to make crunches for my niece. Now I know I can do that. Thank you.
@@darahandmadeau - still a terrible idea - safety ideas don’t change depending on what part of the world you are from. You are basically bringing a razor blade towards your stomach with pressure - if it skips its your body that will bleed copiously - nothing western or not western about how blades interact with flesh.
@@NekonataVirino it is safer that way for me because if I tried it the other way, it would slip out of my control.And the Western way of peeling fruit with a knife is towards your body while I do it away from the body. So yes just pointing out there is a difference, and I’m not questioning it, neither am I telling everyone to cut the way I do.
@@minno5678 yes, absolutely you can! I don’t have a video on that but if you do a search on how to make a scrunchie with a hair tie, I’m sure a few would come up
Can you provide a detailed size chart for scrunchies, including measurements for fabric and the elastic.. fabric lengths ,width for small, medium, and large sizes X,XL,M,S?"
I’d usually measure each side and try to work out how many scrunchies in each size I can make to minimise fabric waste. Then I’d use a ruler to guide the rotary cutter, but I’m not great at using it so can’t really give advice on that 😅
Hi, im in my mid 30s and have Never used a sewing machine! I wouldnt know how to turn it on, what stitch to use.. Could you make a tutorial? Would love to make some scrunchies for my daughter. Also what machine do you suggest i buy? Thank you 🎉
Hi there, thank you for the suggestion 😊 I will try to work on that soon. If you sign up to Spotlight’s VIP list (free), I can see they’re having 50% off several sewing machines at the moment. Mine is the Brother JV1400, but I reckon any of their other brands would do, too, maybe check out their reviews?
It’s the distance between the line where you sew and the edge of the fabric. If the seam allowance is too small and the fabric ends up fraying then your stitches will become undone. If you do a quick google search it’ll show you the image which might explain better x
@@darahandmadeau ohhhh !!! Thank you. What measurement do you use? I'm getting my machine in the morning and want to surprise my 3 yr old when she gets home from preschool!
@@darahandmadeau Its on the first scrunchie and you thread it through the end of the stick to pull it through. You're saying that's your mom's old knitting needle? :)
@@clairedonivan yes, that’s it. Or it’s some kind of knitting tool that belonged to my mom (I don’t knit so I’m not too sure). It’s just a giant needle that was lying around and I thought it suited my need perfectly 😊
I get them from Spotlight here in Australia, but I’ve seen some nice prints on Aliexpress too, which I’m sure you can buy from wherever you’re located 😊
Hi Paula. Thank you for the support! The elastic I used is 6mm wide and about 20cm long, but if you’re making it for yourself then I’d suggest measuring around your wrist to find a comfortable fit.
Hi there, I’m no expert but personally I like to use any fabric that is soft and lightweight on the hair, and I wanna say it also depends on the season/occasion/purpose,etc. as well. For example, in winter time you might want to try velvet scrunchies, whereas microfibre towel scrunchies are great for soaking up moisture,… In my store at the moment I sell mostly satin and cotton scrunchies.
Hi there, I’m currently selling my standard scrunchies at AUD$5. And the special ones are over $8. That’s before delivery, but I also run sales. I’m still very new so I’ve gotta my prices low 😊
@@reedynotgreedy thanks so much 😍 I wasn’t sure if it was a good idea to leave a link to the shop since I’m only shipping Australia wide. But you can find me on Etsy as DaraHandmadeAu and I’m also on Instagram as dara_handmade_au 🥰
The mat is a self-healing cutting mat and the ruler is called quilting ruler. You can find them as a set along with some other tools on eBay or Amazon.
It’s enough for me and my customer base. I’ve got thin Asian hair. Also I sell in Australia and my feedbacks so far have been good. If I did 10” then it’d wrap around the hair 3, 4 times and that might ruin the look of the scrunchy. But it’s good to know some have thicker hair and require more.
You should never cut backwards with a Rotary Cutter...Always away from you! I like the Burrito style of sewing them as you don't see the seam so much, and not this way...
Thanks for the feedback. Cutting forward doesn’t seem to work for me, therefore I feel like it’s more dangerous (for me). I have covered the burrito method in another video, and also demonstrated the ladder stitch to hide the seams completely.
Best video on making scrunches . I needed to find out the size of the elastic to use.
Very well spoken lady and doing this in a slow o you can see just what she was doing. Thank you ❤️
Best I have seen so far simple but elegant thank you
Wonderful. Will make some for my daughters.
I've been looking at so many different ways to make a scrunchies and in my opinion, this video is much more helpful!
Thanks so much for the support ❤️
I've watched this 50 times to help me measure haha.
Me and my husband love your videos!
Wow thank you so much for the support 😄 Did you end up getting a machine today?

That’s fantastic! Wishing you all the best! 🌸
Thank you 🙏
Thanks a lot for making video 👍
Thank you for sharing Dara Handmade❤😘
Never pull the rotary cutter towards you. ALWAYS push it from you.
Pulling works better for me. It’s like cutting fruit, I (we) do it the opposite way from Westerners.

Cut your buddy , not your body
Always bear in mind that different people has different ways to do things. She is doing it slowly so she won’t cut herself. X❤
your idea is amazing for these !! i might try to make this. thank you for showing me
Lovely I’m excited to make some for my daughters
Easiest tutorial iv seen x
Thanks so much for the support ❤️
amaizing ❤
elastic should be same for all sizes,????
Super video ❤
Hi
Love your tutorials. Can you please advise the length and width of the material? Thank you.
Thank you so much" What's the size of the elastic for the mini one, please?
Obrigado 🙂
Thank you, I make mine the same way. I can't make them in the burrito method.
I like your soft voice, I had a stroke and can't tolerate noise. I liked your tutorial and colors you use
Thanks so much 🥰 I hope you’re recovering well, all the best ❤️
So nice love them
thank you, the knowledge is very helpful
Lindos, gostaria de ter entendido as metragens do cetim e elásticos usados.Brasil
thank u girl u r talanted
Your video was very helpful thank you
Beautiful scrunchies💙 What is the length of the fabric before you sew the tube?
Thank you ❤️ I make all sizes in the same length (30” or 75cm), widths are different, you can see them at 1:07
Thank you for this ❤
Fátima obrigado trabalho maravilhoso boa tarde 🕊🙏🕊🇧🇷
What size the elastic
Me gustan pero no me queda claro las medidas de elástico, o no las veo . Gracias.
En un comentario dijo 0.3 pulgadas ancho y 7.5-8 pulgadas largo para todos scrunchies
Nice one ❤
Can I use a hair tie instead of the elastic band as an alternative? Or is it going to ruin it
@@minno5678 yes, absolutely you can! I don’t have a video on that but if you do a search on how to make a scrunchie with a hair tie, I’m sure a few would come up
the elastic, you use the same size for the three pieces?
Yes that’s right
obrigada, boa tarde@@darahandmadeau
Please give me the link of rotary cutter you are using!
what is that tube thing called?
thank you for video ❤ do you wash and iron your fabrics before sewing?
Yes, I do wash and iron all fabrics before sewing 😊
Thank you 🙏 🥰
muchas gracias ☺️😊❤️👍🤗
Can you provide a detailed size chart for scrunchies, including measurements for fabric and the elastic.. fabric lengths ,width for small, medium, and large sizes X,XL,M,S?"
What is the size of fabric for standard also small
@@christinedunstan8297 hi, the measurements start at 1:08, please pause where needed as I’m not sure whether you want cm or inches
Please did you use the same size of elastic for all the scrunchie sizes?
Yes I think I did. Unless they’re for kids, I’d use the same size 😊
Best Video
Burrito method is verrry easy
Thank you!
Hi there..love your video..just wondering what kind of sewing machine your using.. thanks 🤗
Hi Reyah, thanks so much for your support! My sewing machine is the Brother JV1400.
Do you wash your fabric first?
@@Gabby-nt5xm yes I do, but only a quick wash
Can this be made with knit fabric?
Yes certainly! I would suggest using a zigzag stitch setting to avoid stitches popping as the fabric stretches x
I’m trying to start doing this but I’m stuck on folding my fabric to being cutting with the rotary. How do I do that exactly so my sizing is correct
I’d usually measure each side and try to work out how many scrunchies in each size I can make to minimise fabric waste. Then I’d use a ruler to guide the rotary cutter, but I’m not great at using it so can’t really give advice on that 😅
For all the 3 sizes you used the same length of elastic is it?
Yes that’s right 🙂
Hi, im in my mid 30s and have Never used a sewing machine! I wouldnt know how to turn it on, what stitch to use.. Could you make a tutorial? Would love to make some scrunchies for my daughter.

Real nice...
Hello what size elastic do u use an how long for each scrunchie plz
Hi, the elastic I used is 0.9cm and the length you can measure around your wrist to find the best fit, usually around 18-20cm
What size was the fabric and the electric for the standard?
I usually do 28 x 5 inches and elastic is around 7.5 to 8 inches
@@darahandmadeau thank you so much!
What is the seam allowance x

Ok now all I need is silk and elastics 😅
What's the name of the tool you're using to turn your scrunchie right out? Thanks!
It’s my mom’s old knitting needle actually 😊
@@darahandmadeau Its on the first scrunchie and you thread it through the end of the stick to pull it through. You're saying that's your mom's old knitting needle? :)

@@darahandmadeau 🥰😁
Where did you buy that cutter?
I got it from a local store where I live, but they’re available online too from stores like Amazon or Ebay
What size elastic did you use? (In inches) please and thank you
Hi there, the elastic I use is 0.3in in width and 7.5-8in in length
@@darahandmadeau this is size of small scrunchie elastic ?
@@QasimaMursalin yes, I use the same length for all scrunchies
Very good
where did you order printed satin fabric?
I get them from Spotlight here in Australia, but I’ve seen some nice prints on Aliexpress too, which I’m sure you can buy from wherever you’re located 😊
Hi loved your video i did not see what size elastic you used and the length. thankyou
Hi Paula. Thank you for the support! The elastic I used is 6mm wide and about 20cm long, but if you’re making it for yourself then I’d suggest measuring around your wrist to find a comfortable fit.
Ruler link ?
❤❤
Please what material you use
Hi there. The fabric I used in this video is satin
Thanks so much
Nice
With the second method the needle gets stuck in the elastic for some reason.
Whats can we use kind of Fabrics for Scrunchis ? Please replay for this dear....

@@darahandmadeau Thank you so much dear 😍
What is the name of the elastic?
It’s called braided elastic 9mm
What is the measurement of the elastic?
I usually do about 8 inches or 20cm
@@darahandmadeau … I found when using 1/4” elastic, that 7 1/2” to 8”, makes the scrunchie flexible enough to twist two times. Thx for sharing 😀❤️
when you say they are 2" instead of 3", what part are you talking about? Thank You
I meant the ones shown in the pictures are 2 inches wide (fabric), rather than 3” like the ones I was making in the video
For closing better to do ladder stitch
How much do you sell each one for, just curious
Hi there, I’m currently selling my standard scrunchies at AUD$5. And the special ones are over $8. That’s before delivery, but I also run sales. I’m still very new so I’ve gotta my prices low 😊

What are the measurements mats call and the measurements ruler call

What is the name of your sewing machine
It’s Brother JV1400
Can u mention the machine brand name
It’s a Brother machine, the model is JV1400 🙂
I tried the burrito method and wanted to punch someone! The OG method is so much easier for us beginners!
Thanks for first method....but u didn't mentioned the length of the cloth
Por favor las medidas bien de cada una si por favor gracias dios te bendiga
😃👍🏼👍🏼
7 to 8 inches of elastic isn't enough for thicker hair, it's too loose. I usually do 10 inches and thats perfect.
It’s enough for me and my customer base. I’ve got thin Asian hair. Also I sell in Australia and my feedbacks so far have been good. If I did 10” then it’d wrap around the hair 3, 4 times and that might ruin the look of the scrunchy. But it’s good to know some have thicker hair and require more.
Dimensions . . . ?
I can’t see see the 3 size measurements
Can someone kindly give it to me
they are at the beginning of the video
Hi, they’re from 1:09-1:32
Ethra roopak vilkam
there is a big difference between your measures in cm and inch
How big? Besides 30” being equivalent to ~76cm rather than 75cm, I think they’re quite accurate?
You should never cut backwards with a Rotary Cutter...Always away from you! I like the Burrito style of sewing them as you don't see the seam so much, and not this way...
