No Sew Scrunchies Tutorial:

For our No Sew Scrunchies, we used with this stack of HP-themed fabric, a few hair elastics and a pair of scissor.

Step 1: Cut your Fabric

We trimmed our fabric to be about 4.5 inches tall and 22 inches wide. The 22-inch width makes for a nice frilly scrunchie size. If you have lesser fabric, 18 inches wide would also work.

Step 2: Fold the fabric and glue

Starting at the bottom right corner, place your hair elastic and fold the fabric over. Then apply glue along the top edge and start gluing the fabric in place making sure you are not getting any glue onto the hair elastic!

We started this project using this Fabric glue, but that glue needed a good amount of drying time. So we switched to a hot glue gun instead, for faster results!

Slowly glue the entire fabric edge to form a full circle. I found it best to apply glue in sections and taking your time to apply the glue in an even straight line.

Step 3: Turn it inside out

Once your glue has dried, using a chopstick, pencil, or a crochet hook, carefully turn the scrunchie inside out. Again, go slowly, making sure your seam is intact.

Step 4: Carefully glue the seams shut

Once you have the scrunchie inside out, all you need to do is glue the two seams of the circle shut. Fold the edge of the fabric a bit and apply glue onto it, press to seal, and hold in place for a few seconds till the glue dries. (Sorry, my photo went blurry for this step!)

And voila! You can go on creating many more of your own DIY Scrunchies at home.
