I like this method. The other tutorials always make you sew the two ends together and you can easily see the stitching. This method is much better. Thank you so much!!
I definitely prefer taking a little extra time to do it this way.
Thanks, Melly! I will make some of these for my grandaughter!
Have fun sewing!
I wish I was your granddaughter haha
aww you go!
That’s so sweet.... u seem like the best grandma😂
Teri Looney my grandma used to do stuff like that but she died
Thank you so much for that short invisible stitch tutorial it’s very helpful
Glad it's helpful!
I want to add these to my hair accessory shop, but the other methods seemed tedious. I LOVE this method
Glad you like it!
This is the best scrunchie tutorial I’ve seen. Thank you!
Yay! Thank you!
Scrunches are trending in my class at school 😂😂 I rlly wanna make some and sell them for $3 and make some money
Go for it - entrepreneurship is a great skill to practice!
Melly Sews thanks! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Do it girl I do it at my school I make 100 dollars every 3 months
Maddie Moo cow same tho
Mine are 5$
Woohoo! Scrunchies are back!
:)
Totally YESSSS!!!!
Wtf how is anyone supposed to know the measures of the cloth if she dont tell us @.@

Yassss! I legit made up my own way, didn’t like it tried other CZcamsrs ways, then stumbled on your video and BOOM I found the best method ever!
Trying this with my new batch! Thank you for the vid Queen!
Glad it’s helpful!
I also found this really helpful my story is kinda like urs where I watched many tutorials but nearly all of them turned out to look sorta bad but when I watched this vid I made one and it turned out really good and looked like I had bought it from a store x
Oasis Mendez agreed amazing vid!
Fantastic tutorial! You explained everything simply, slowly and in detail. 👍🏼
Glad you liked it!!
Love this method and find it much easier and cleaner than sewing the two ends together. Also, thanks for the ladder stitch tutorial at the end!
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for posting this. You made it easy and painless for those of us who normally dont sew anything. Saved alot of money not having to buy these things at over $2
Glad it's helpful!
For a tube-turner, you could just use a thick straw and a chopstick, couldn't you? I wanna try that out!!
That would probably work for smaller tubes, but larger fabric tubes would need something larger than a straw.
Perfect for me because I’m Asian and I have boba straws and chopsticks at my house :)
JoJo Rainbow I use my metal reusable boba straws and chopsticks and it works like a charm!
That's a really good idea
@@Mellysews she could just use a boba straw
A very thorough and informative tutorial! Great for all levels of sowing :) Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much for showing an invisible stitch, I for one really appreciate it 😄😁😄
Glad it was helpful!
I thought this was the illusive youtube tutorial I’ve watched about the twist infinity scarf. It’s not but this is great also!
This is the same method to make a basic infinity scarf. If you want a twist in the scarf, you'd add that before turning it halfway to the right side and sewing the ends together.
I have tried other methods, but this is by far the best one I have done! I will definitely be making a lot of these. Easy and fast!
Glad it's helpful, thanks for watching!
I can't sew, but I made three scrunchies last night. Thank you!
Glad it's helpful! Also, if you sewed 3 scrunchies, you CAN sew :)
Very clear and best explanation
..you made it very simple
Glad it helped
This tutorial really helped me xx I have tried many others but this one was definitely the most helpful thx ❤️❤️
Glad to help!
_Sew_ well done! 👏😄👏
Thanks for watching!
ive tried making scrunchies before with different methods, but this is the best one by far!! thank you so much
Glad you like it!
It’s really a smart and easy way to do it. I just made 2 and very happy with it. Thank you so much!
Wonderful!
Came for the scrunchies, stayed for the ladder stitch tutorial.
Glad they're helpful!

Saved directions... this as a pre-measured strip with excellent
fabric turning!
Thanks for watching!
Fantastic tutorial! You are born to be a teacher! You make things seem so easy. Thank you
Glad it's helpful!
I really like the way you make scrunches me and my mom are going to try it
Have fun! I remember sewing these with my mom when I was younger.
Awesome! Ive been making scrunchies and selling them for a while and I could never really find a good way to make the tube into a circle very helpful
Glad it's helpful!
Thank you for this tutorial. It was very clear, thorough, and helpful. :)
Glad it was helpful!
Wow this is so good........ different from other methods........at last the ladder stich is well explained
Glad it's helpful!
Thank you for this! I’m definitely making this for my friend for her birthday.
Have fun!
Hi Melly, it was nice to see you, again. Thank you for this tutorial, I thought I knew how, but didn’t turn out correctly. 🤷🏼♀️ I, also, did it differently than you did.
Hope this was helpful!
Great tutorial! Thank you for explaining and showing how to do the ladder stitch so well!!
I really enjoy your website and watching your videos!
Thank you so much!
This is the easiest tutorial! Will try this tomorrow.
Glad it's helpful!
Another great tutorial!! Thanks so much! Easy to follow instructions! I will be making lots of these! 😃
Thanks for watching!
Beautiful tutorial 🌼 absolutely love it. Thank you!

You're so welcome!
I just found your channel & you’re AMAZING!! Very easy to follow. Thank you so much for posting 💕

This may look confusing but it works so well! I made one and it’s so good!
Glad you like it!
This is by far my fav method so far and I’ve watched a lot of these videos
Glad you like it!
I just tried everyone else's method and now that I've found this perfect way I'm too tired and short on fabric to make it. 😂😂😂
@@allisonparramore2642 ooooooooh thanks fer telling me
The best video I watched .love your technique . Keep posting
Thanks for watching!
Thank you! Very helpful & much appreciated
Glad it was helpful!
thank you very much for this video..i just finished making a headband to wear to school it didnt come out great but its good enough to wear
And the next will come out even better because of what you learned making the first!
That was a great video, thank you so much on your invisible stitch tip loved it
Glad you enjoyed it!
thank you me and my friend are wanting to make a little job and this helped alot for the ideas
Great!
I love making these 😅
glad to hear that!
Well done 👍 dear 😊❣️..... finally I'm able to make it.....
Great 👍
Very nice scruchie
Thanks!
Thank you so much!!!😁 All the other youtube tutorials I watched for scrunched didn't turn out right😕. You make it SO easy and SO fun! P.S. Thanks for the ladder stitch tutorial it helps A LOT! You are so amazing and so impressive!😃
Glad I could help!
Thanks for this video! These seem to be the best instructions, and match what I've seen in scrunchies from the shop. In fact yours is actually better, because the bought ones closed the side opening on the outside with machine stitching. Hard to see as they matched the colour exactly, but just not quite as good as yours.
I definitely prefer not to see any stitching!
I needed something to do with my mask sewing scraps... can't wait to try it though!
This is a great way to use scraps
@@Mellysews It turned out AWESOME thank you for the instructions
This is the method I prefer
👍
Awesome tutorial! Is there any others ways to close the tube other than handsew? The tube won’t go under my machine and I’m not a very goo hand sewer! Any other ways? I prefer this style of scrunchie to all the others!
Thanks for a great DIY video!
No, if it won't go on your machine the only way is to hand sew.
Melly Sews, Do you have a hand sewing tutorial for the scrunchies? Major beginner here! Never sewn in my life until last week!
czcams.com/video/XOIywYsDT-c/video.html
Their are other videos on yt that are no sew scrunchies and they are really fun
@@Mellysews I tried the machine on jean and it worked fine
Subscribed for the great details .. thanks a ton from Nepal
Thanks for the sub!
The measurements in centimetres if you don't understand inches like me
the strip of fabric - 45,75cm X 10,16cm
the piece of elastic - 20,32cm
Thanks for adding the conversions
@@Mellysews thank you for the tutorial! i just made my first scrunchie, sew everything by hand because i don't own a sewing machine, but still it's beautiful!
Great video. One of the best on CZcams I must say!
Thanks for watching
Great
Super easy method
Thanks for sharing mam
Glad you liked it!
Excellent tutorial, thanks ❤
You're welcome 😊
Just what I was looking for! 😊✨
Thanks for watching!
Thank you!
Thanks for watching!
This is awesome. Thanks for the tutorial.
You're very welcome!
I couldn't get the tube Turner pratt exactly right but my scrunchie still looks okay
It will get better with practice.
Melly.... i love your style of making the scrunchie. Can you do (how to reuse old t-shirts) btw love your sews🧷✂🧵
I don't have any plans to make a video specific to reusing t-shirts.
This rocks. I learned alot
Thanks! Glad it was helpful!
Nice shirt, thank you for the tutorial!
Glad you like it!
Thank you for your video.
Thanks for watching!
This is really good😊😊
Ive made a few and it was very easy
Glad you're having fun with it!
Bowl cosy tutorial please. Including whether to wash the Pellon Wrap and Zap or not before starting, and if yes, then please show how to wash & dry it. I can’t find any video on this.
Also how to sew around the corners neatly. Best type of cotton fabric to use too, and why - as in why that particular fabric out of all the cotton choices. I know it has to all be cotton including batting & thread but which cotton fabric is best suited? Is it quilting cotton, drill or something else? Thank you in advance 🙏🏼
That's a possibility, but definitely not any time soon.
Wow so helpful I can’t wait to get sewing!!!
Have fun! They're quick to make.
Beautiful
Thank you
What brand of elastic do you use? I’ve tried different kinds but none have been that stretchy :(
For this one I used braided elastic. More on the types here: mellysews.com/2018/02/types-elastic-use.html
Thank you so much you are great ❤😍
Happy to help!
@@Mellysews ❤
Thanks! 🌸🌸
You’re welcome 😊
What type of fabric did you use? (Ex. Cotton, polyester, Satin, etc)
You can use any type you'd like.
@@Mellysews if I use an old t-shirt?
Weldone. I do for my daughter
Hope she likes them!
Don't know if you still reply to comments but is there a significant difference to the outcome if you happen to have the elastic twisted inside? 😭
Probably not, the elastic will get twisted if you actually wear it in your hair anyway since you have to twist the scrunchie to secure it in a second loop.
When you handstitch the ends together, how do you get them to look neat and not show? My threads are so obvious on mine :/
Small stitches, close together.
@@Mellysews got it, thanks ❤️
THANK YOU OH MY GOD YOU ALWAYS HELP SO MUCH
Glad to help!
Could you use shoelaces instead of elastic?
If they are stretchy elastic, yes. These require stretch to work.
Perfect
Thanks!
i made some amazing Scrunchies! thanks!😍
Yay!
Very nice
Thanks
Can you make a scrunchie tutorial using a hairband instead of elastic?
I don't have plans to do that. I'd suggest cutting the hair tie and then knotting it back together and using the same sewing method I show in this video for the scrunchie.
Good method, but as someone who can't hand sew, this was sooo hard 😅 I prefer to cheat, and run my machine across. The small flat bit is easy to hide in the scrunched ruffles.
That's another way to do it. I prefer not to have a flattened area myself.
Thank you for this ❤
You're welcome 😊
great video
Thanks for watching!
I Will make these
Have fun sewing!
I would like like to make these for my Granddaughter's 7, 5 and 2 years old. What size should they be?
I haven't sewn them for little kids, so I don't know. If you figure out a good length, please update for others with the same question!
Hi! I make scrunchies for a business and for my kids’ scrunchies I would recommend a fabric size of 3 x 15 and an elastic of 6in. I don’t know about the two year old though i don’t know if the same will also work but you can sure try!
Thanks! Great gifts 🎁
Thanks for watching!
Nice thank you so much for sharing nice .i will try .God bless
Thanks for watching!
It looks normal but when i turn it inside out so i can but the rubber band in it turns like one sided it its just pencil cased shape hellpp
Re watch the section from 2-3 minutes - with what you’re describing, something went wrong there.
Thanks for this! Can’t wait to try 😍😊
Have fun sewing!
You actually helped me a lot 😅
Glad to help!
How do you make it for thick hair?
You could lengthen both the fabric and elastic
What size and kind of elastic do you use? :)
1/4", pretty much any kind will work
This is amazing! Thank you sooo much! 😁
Thanks for watching!
Should u leave the gap in the middle?
I show where I leave the gap for turning in the video.
@@Mellysews oh oke!
Great video, thanks! :-)
Glad you liked it!
Some great tips - thank you :)
Glad to help!
