Re-purposed Clothes to Scrunchies Tutorial

Thrifty Thinking

DIY Time

It’s DIY Time again, where every week I try to post something you can do yourself rather than buy, which is a money saver, and can be VERY REWARDING.  Some of these posts are crafts, sewing projects, homemade cleaners, homemade health aids, tutorials, and the like.

May be scrunchies are out of fashion: I don’t know, but I use them all of the time.  I love to have my hair up when I exercise and almost all of the time, really.

What I love about sewing scrunchies is that they are so small, they virtually require no time at all.  They are a perfect item to make out of scraps or old clothes, especially out of little girls’ clothes that may have a stain and the print design is so cute I hate to throw away.  In fact the blue flower scrunchie shown in the feature picture above came from fabric that was on a broken baby mobile.  I have used old baby crib sheets and stained dresses, too.  It’s so fun to re-purpose!!
