No-sew fleece scrunchies DIY - easy craft for kids

I have already sewed few types of scrunchies: the casual scrunchies, the pom pom scrunchies, the patchwork scrunchies and the ruffle ones. Today, I’ve made one more type, that is… no-sew scrunchie. When I saw this flower scrunchie tutorial, I wanted to make something similar, and I decided that I’ll use circles instead of squares – they seem to be perfect for this project.

It’s a fantastic craft for children – their cutting circles practice might help them in their scissors skills development. It’s also a great fun for girls – they can create their own handmade hair accessories.

For one no-sew scrunchie you will need:

18 circle pieces of fleece about 5 cm (2 inches) in diameter
an elastic – 20 cm (8 inches) length
scissors
1 small safety pin and 1 scrap of fabric

STEP 1

Cut out 18 circle pieces of fleece about 5 cm (2 inches) in diameter. You can draw the circle using a glass, small bottle etc.

STEP 2

Fold each circle in half and make 2 small kerfs as shown in the picture below.

Then you have two holes in one circle.

STEP 3

Tie one end of the elastic to the scrap of fabric. Don’t tie too strong, it’s only for a while, to protect the circles from sliding the elastic out. Place the safety pin on the second end of the elastic. Use the small safety pin.
