DIY Cath Kidston Lace Hair Scrunchies- Easy

In this DIY, I will be showing you how I made these lace hair scrunchies using Cath Kidston fabric. You can use any type of fabric you like, it doesn't have to be Cath Kidston. Enjoy :)

Things you will need:

-Fabric- I had small pieces of fabric which were roughly 19.5" x 10" -A needle and thread or a sewing machine -Elastic -Lace -Pins -Scissors -A tape measure or ruler

Step 1:

Using your tape measure/ruler and scissors, measure how long you want your elastic to be and cut to that length. I used 9" pieces of elastic but you can vary the length depending on how much you want your elastic to stretch and how big you want your scrunchie to be.

Step 2:

Measure how big you want your fabric to be and cut- the longer the fabric, the scrunchier the scrunchie will be; the wider the fabric, the wider the scrunchie will be. I wanted my fabric 5" wide and the length of my fabric was just under 19.5", so I kept that length.

Step 3:

Once you have cut the fabric to your desired length, you need to cut that piece in half again lengthwise.

You should now have two identical pieces of fabric. You now need to hem the 4 edges with arrows. Do this by folding over a small amount and pinning in place ready to sew (shown below).

You only need to fold over a small amount as you don't want to lose much of the length.

Step 4:

Once you have hemmed the edges, lay your lace next to your fabric and cut it to the same length. Cut two pieces if you want lace on the inside and outside edge of the scrunchie or cut one piece of lace if you just want the lace on the outside edge.

Lay the lace facing inwards on the piece of fabric as shown in the picture- make sure the right side of the fabric is facing upwards.

Place the other piece of fabric on top with the right side facing downwards.

Step 5:

Pin the layers in place- make sure you don't place the pins in line with the edge or you won't be able to sew over them, place the pins facing inwards. Once all the pins are in place, sew across the two long edges- make sure you don't sew directly on the edge, sew the edges around 1 cm in to make sure you catch all of the lace. Don't sew the two short edges!

Step 6:

Once you have stitched the two long edges, turn the fabric inside out. Your lace should now be attached to the fabric.
You now need to thread your elastic through the piece of fabric.

You can do this by attaching a safety pin to the elastic and pushing it through the fabric- this is much easier than trying to push it through with just your hands.

When you reach the end, remove the safety pin and tie the two ends of the elastic together. You can leave this as it is or secure it a bit more using a needle and thread or some fabric glue.
