A variety of elastic bands are able to modify the hairstyle, they can be chosen both for everyday outfit and for an evening out.

Our article on how to make a hair band with your own hands. For the basis of any product, they take a purchased simple elastic band without any decorations and decorate it depending on the wishes, the chosen color and style. You can wrap the elastic completely with fabric, or you can only add a central decorative element made of fabric, ribbons or lace. Often a bright brooch or button, beads or rhinestones are sewn into the middle. Let's look at some interesting ideas on how to make a scrunchie in different ways.

Felt elastic band

This option is suitable for beginner craftsmen, since making such a craft is quite simple. As a basis, take a small circle cut out of felt. In this case, we can see that yellow was used in the sample in the photo below. To decorate the elastic, you need to prepare many identical pieces of pink ribbon, a package of small decorative lace flowers, beads to decorate the middle and a fluffy white pompom.

The decoration of the product begins with the attachment of pieces of tape bent with loops. First, the edges of the tape must be melted with a candle or a lighter, so that the threads at the edges do not subsequently fall off. You can grab the loops with stitches to the base of felt or glue with a glue gun. The next step is to place the flowers close to each other along the inner circumference so that the ends of the ribbon are not visible. It remains to glue half beads at an equal distance or sew on round beads (you can use rhinestones or pebbles, beads or other decorative material) and set a fluffy ball in the very middle. When everything is ready, sew the craft on the elastic band from the back side.

Contrast bow

Before you make your own scrunchie, think about what color ribbons you will need so that the product is in harmony with clothes and accessories. To make such a beautiful bow, as in the photo below, you need to buy a wide and narrow ribbon of light chocolate color and white organza. To connect all the layers of the craft, a beige button was used, on which you can glue a bright crown with rhinestones.

Next, let's take a closer look at how to make an elastic band forsatin hair.

Begin work on the wide ribbon. Do not cut off the segment immediately, so as not to be mistaken. It is better to first fold the bow, consisting of several turns, leaving small beveled edges at the beginning of the work and at the end. Melt them immediately so that the cut sides look neat and the threads do not fall off when using an elastic band. At the central point, make a few stitches with matching threads, thereby fixing the bow.

The next step is to gather a wide strip of organza folded in half. To do this, stepping back a little from the edge, stitch the entire length of the fabric with stitches, tighten the thread and sew to the bottom tape. Lastly, a thin ribbon bent with loops is attached, and all layers are connected with a decorated button.

Three-layer beaded bows

Before you make a beautiful scrunchie as in the photo below, pick up wide and thin ribbons of white color and medium width with a contrasting pattern. The central holder of all layers is a red bright heart.

The long ends are left only on a thin ribbon located on top of two bows. 3 beads are strung on each hanging edge, matched in the same color scheme as the ribbons. The edges are tied into tight knots so that the beads do not fall off when moving.

Kanzashi flowers

How to make small hair ties to look spectacular? The kanzashi technique will help. This is the manufacture of beautiful floral elements from simple satin ribbons. Flowers consist of 5 identical petals (twowhite and three - red) and two leaves of green tape. Let's see how to make such elements.

To create a petal, you need to cut squares of white and red. Then each folds in half diagonally. Then a couple of folds are made on each side, collecting the edges in the center. It is most convenient to use tweezers to hold the tissue together. Then trim the bottom edge with scissors and melt with a lighter, pressing all the layers with tweezers. One petal is ready! All other parts are made in the same way and glued to each other with a glue gun, attaching a small pebble for beauty in the center.

How to make leaves

After making the main flower for the rubber bands, the girl gets to work on the leaves. To do this, you need to fold a green ribbon 10 cm long in half. We leave the bent edge intact, but draw a straight line from one of its corners to the opposite on the other side and cut it with scissors as planned. Get a triangle. Again, the cut edges are melted and pressed against each other with tweezers or fingers. Hold it a little and they stick together securely without glue.

It remains only to turn the blank on the other side and attach the leaves under the previously made flower. Here you can use a glue gun to glue the parts together and attach the decoration to the elastic itself.

Kanzashi petal bow

Now let's look at how to make bow-shaped hair ties from a ribbon. You will need a base to place the finished petals. More convenientjust cut it out from a sheet of felt, matched to the color of the satin ribbon. You already know how to make petals using the kanzashi technique. To make this scrunchie, you will need to make 12 identical elements and attach them to the felt base in the form of two connected triangles.

Place a central brooch with shiny rhinestones between them and a beautiful bow can be installed with an elastic band.

Craft for a bunch

A beautiful elastic band for a daughter to put on a hair bun is made from different elements combined in one composition. These are white flowers in kanzashi technique, and large multi-layered details of contrasting colors. Arrange the assembled elements symmetrically, leaving room for a large bow.
