Tutorial: 90s style hair scrunchie made sturdy with a hair elastic

Aimee from Clones ‘n’ Clowns shows how to make a hair scrunchie, just like the ones we wore way back in the day. Back when my mother used to make them for me, she made them using short lengths of elastic to make them stretchy. It wasn’t the best choice, as they tended to lose their stretchy over time. Aimee’s tutorial does it better, using a purchased hair elastic for the insides. That had me shaking my head, wondering how she got the closed circle of a hair elastic inside the fabric casing. But she does it, and her tutorial shows how. Go to her blog for the tute.
