I love love hair scrunchies! I love them so much I can never get enough of them.
I wear them every time I take pictures now if my hairs up and the best way to sait my disgustingly rabid craving is to learn how to make them myself.
These instructions are pretty horrible, so this is more DIY for those who literally probably can't even tie their shoes. I'm one of those people.
First off, lets gather our supplies.
There's a few different ways of going about making hair scrunchies, I'm going to show you 2 different ways using book cover fabric. Book covers use to be more necessary to me before I changed to online school, I still have a few textbooks but they don't move around much so protection isn't really necessary.
I'm going to talk mainly though book covers here so if you aren't using them, ignore a lot of these steps I guess! Sorry. Like I said, this is DIY for those who can't hold spoons and forks.
Book covers come in a few different shapes. There's some meant to stretch really large, like the cool-ass lightning one on the right. These have lips or flaps that almost meet each other, and to be honest are the easiest ones to use for this. They make bigger and more flexible covers.
The one on the left, the flowery one, is a bit harder to use. If you notice it's flaps leave a really gross gap in between each other. The flap gap.
These make smaller, less fluffy scrunchies - at least with the super easy DIY way that I'm doing it. To be honest in hind sight you could probably get around that really easily if you cared more, like cutting certain parts or whatever. I should do a "Actual DIY, how to make Hair Scrunchies" when I'm not a piece of shit.
What we are going to do, though, is cut those flaps and isolate the flap gap.
Nice nice. You can discard the flap gap or use it for another project at a later date, it's up to your own discretion. If you're a hoarder like me you'll probably hang onto it.
After you do that you're going to measure out elastic. This part is a part you actually have to think while doing, though. To get the perfect measurement, put your hair up in a ponytail at your desired tightness and wrap your band of elastic around it. Make sure it's snug, even too tight (depending on your desired effect) and cut your elastic. Mine usually ends up being around 5 inches. Do this twice so you can have two strands of elastic if you're making duel hair scrunchies like I do!
The next step can't be explained in photots. You're going to glue the openings of the book sock so it stays shut and is just a fabric pouch. You can sew it, if you want, but I'm a piece of shit as preciously stated who doesn't care since these are just for me. If I ever get around to selling these they'll be done a lot nicer and probably sewn.
Next, you are going to cut holes in the top and bottom of the fabric void. This is going to be the penetration point for your elastic. I, for some reason, didn't get photos of this. I'm awful.
After that you are going to feed your elastic in through the holes until it meets together. Depending on the type of elastic you have, you will then tie or glue your elastic into the elastical loop ring needed.
After you get the result of the top picture above, tuck the remaining fabric into the penetration points and glue it if needed. I meant it when I said the small puffy ones don't look nearly as good as the big floppy ones! They're very round and small.
If you have a wholesome, clean book cover that doesn't have a flap gap follow these steps!
Cut directly down the middle of the flap! You're going to separate your cover so it lays like the one above. Right down the lips. Right down.
Next you're going to glue all the remaining holes and openings. Again, sewing is also an option if you aren't me.
After you glue them, get your elastic (see the above portion of the tutorial for measurements) and gauge how puffy your hair elastics will be. If you don't want them excess, cut off - reglue - do whatever. This is a very flexible tutorial!
Cut your penetration points and follow the steps I gave above.
So nice, so fresh, so lightning. These ones look so much nicer because of the better shape of fabric.
After you get to this point, you can choose to tuck or to glue the corners together. I decided to glue them together! It works best on the book covers with no flap gap.
Lightning asshole!
These turned out a lot nicer than I expected! I prefer these ones and this method in creating them.

Well this tutorial was absolutely useless since you could've probably figured this out on your own. Show me the way you improved my shitty creations! @ me on twitter at @chuchukisstrain! Tag me in them on instagram. You know the drill.
