Valentines Day Scrunchies
It seems that there isn’t a room in our house that doesn’t have at least one hair tie in it. With two girls, hair accessories are found in every corner, except of course the one color you absolutely need at a particular time. This craft is very in-expensive and there are many variations. You can use a scrunchie that already has fabric on it, or you can make the scrunchie by sewing a rubber band inside fabric, and decorate it. How ever you begin this project, just make sure you have at least 1 scrunchie.
What you’ll need:
12″ red and white satin ribbons, Beads, Needle, Thread
1-3 small fake roses, Hot glue gun, Wide ribbon
Optional:
Button, round or large heart, Sculpey, Lace, Fabric paint
How to make it:
Here are some ideas for decorating the scrunchie – let your creativity go!
Take some 12″ long ribbons, fold them in half, then tie a knot in the center. String a few beads on each end of the ribbon then knot the ends. Sew to the scrunchie, adding a few beads or a special button to cover the knot.
Use hot glue to attach 1-3 small fake roses in a cluster to the scrunchie. Be very careful with the hot glue gun!
Take a couple of wide ribbons, put one on top of the other, and make a bow.
Sew the bow to the scrunchie, making sure to stitch through the center of the bow so that it will not untie.
Make a special button or bead with Fimo or Sculpey according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Then sew the button or bead to the scrunchie.
Take a long piece of lace and tie it into a bow, then attach to the scrunchie. Or hand stitch along one edge of the lace and then gather it into a circle.
Attach a large heart button or small fake rose in the center.
Use fabric paint to decorate the scrunchie with squiggles, dots, or small designs like hearts.
Tips:
If you have some plain scrunchies, you can dress them up in a variety of ways to make it look like a Valentine Scrunchie.
You might find that putting the scrunchie onto a can to stretch it and hold it in one position will help with the decorating.
