Scrunchies are so fun and easy to make. They work great in your hair--use them for a ponytail, bun, high ponytail, or as a bracelet till you're ready for a ponytail! I've made these for years, and now my daughter Lucy has been making them. In fact, making and selling scrunchies was the first "business" I had when I was just her age. Come make a scrunchie!...or 10.

SEWING MACHINE RECOMMENDS (affiliate):
In this video I'm using the cute JOY SEWING MACHINE, by Baby Lock. It's a great entry level machine and part of the Genuine series. There are other great machines in that series too...I also have the BRILLIANT (which I use in other videos). You can purchase online and read some reviews on this site:

BLUE FABRIC is by FIGO FABRICS (Moonlit Village collection):

There are 100 scrunchie videos on YouTube, but as usual, Dana’s are always the easiest to follow! She also has the most fun voice.

I am 66 and just started sewing again. Kind of embarrassed to admit that a scrunchy intimidated me until I found your video. Thank you so much! I am making these to match the dresses I made for my great granddaughters. And then I'll just keep going. ❤

Just made a trial run on one of these tonight for my wife! She absolutely loves it! Never tried before, she only recently let her hair grow out! Thank you Dana!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE your videos. Please don't ever stop making them! Sewing doesn't seem so scary or complicated when I watch your videos.

Thank You for a great video. Great instructions! I made one for my Wife using Valentine's Day fabric. I can't wait till the morning to see how she likes it. If she does, many more will follow. It is a quick and easy project.

You’re so wholesome, & it’s awesome that your daughter gravitated towards the same thing you did at her age.

After trying different scrunchy tutorials, this one is by far the BEST! And just like all your other tutorials it’s easy to follow along. Love all your videos. Every time I YouTube how to sew a specific thing i look to see if you have a tutorial for it. Thanks for all your awesome tips and tricks. Your videos have pretty much taught me how to sew. Thanks again! 😊

Best seamstress I've seen on YouTube! Makes things so easy and not scary especially for a super duper beginner like myself...thank you !!

[audreywaller]

Your videos are amazing! I have made bags, a circle skirt, scrunchies and countless other items with your awsome videos! I also loved your invisible stitch and how to sew zippers videos! It makes sewing things so much easier!

[msamonte]

Thank you for making this video I am a beginner sewer and just finished this and your drawstring bag in the last 48 hours!

[ambreenmahmoodkhan]

In lock down all my hair clutchers are broken and I was desperately in need of scrunchies. And your video popped up. Thanks for reminding and I have made so many so far. 😊

[SuperDevoria]

Dana I am still a beginner, and this scrunchie is perfect for me to make. I will post when I do!!!! So excited!!

[dreamkeeper]

Came across your video. I had gotten tired of constantly buying Scrunchies. So since I had a ton of elastic left over from making masks for Covid for our local hospitals and medical facilities, I’d use it to make Scrunchies. I absolutely love your instructions and tutorial and how you make it so simple. Thank you!

[karencox]

So fun! Love your first business examples- and now your daughter is doing the same 💖

[jesusistheonlywaytothefath]

I started sewing just a few months ago to make masks....i just finished my first garment, a dress with a shirred bodice & flowy skirt...well thanks to your tutorial I will be able to make a matching scrunchie to go with the dress!
An idea for your daughter: matching face masks & scrunchie business! Lol
