Coloured fat quarters of your choice
All sewn edges use a 10mm seam allowance.
Step 1
Cut a piece of scrap fabric 45x10cm. Fold in half, right sides together, lengthways and use your machine to sew a straight line down the long raw edge, leave a gap at one end.
Step 2
Using a Safety pin to feed the ‘non gap’ end inside the tube, pull it to the other open short end (with the gap).
Step 3
Line up the short raw tube ends together. Use a needle and thread to do a small, neat running stitch around in a loop roughly 1cm, from the raw edges.
Step 4
Pull the whole tube through the gap, you should now have a ring of fabric pulled the right way around.
Step 5
Cut a piece of elastic to 20cm. Use the safety pin to feed the elastic through the ring (through the open gap) take care not to loose the other end.
Step 6
Join the elastic ends together with your sewing machine. Then use your needle and thread to sew up the gap using a slip stitch or use your machine close to the edge.
Step 7
Your Scrunchie is ready for wearing. To add Bunny ears, use the template to cut two bow shapes from fabric and lay them right sides together.
Step 8
Sew all the way around, roughly 5mm from the edge, leaving a gap in the centre. Cut notches in all curves, clip corners and turn right way out through gap.
Step 9
Sew gap up neatly either by hand or machine. You can now tie the bunny ears in a knot around your scrunchie.
