Dance, Gymnastics & Cheer Hair Ties

Okay Dance/Cheer/Gymnastics Moms, have I got a SUPER easy scrunchie for you to make. All you need is an elastic hair tie, 1" x 8" strips of fabric, and coordinating ribbon if so desired.

I've actually made these twice and both times were a huge success. I went to Jo-Ann's and purchased a few yards of the fabrics. The hardest part of this project is cutting the strips. Using pinking shears, cut the fabric into the strips. You can make them a little longer or shorter depending on your preference. 


Then just start tying the strips around the elastic. I used 12 per elastic but you can use more or less depending on the thickness of your fabric. 


We made these as part of a team-building party for my daughter's gymnastics team and the girls enjoyed making them and wearing them at the AAU Age Group Nationals this past June. Really fun, way easy!
