How to make it:

Here are some ideas for decorating the scrunchie - let your creativity go!
1. Take some 12" long ribbons, fold them in half, then tie a knot in the center. String a few beads on each end of the ribbon then knot the ends. Sew to the scrunchie, adding a few beads or a special button to cover the knot.
2. Use hot glue to attach 1-3 small fake roses in a cluster to the scrunchie. Be very careful with the hot glue gun!
3. Take a couple of wide ribbons, put one on top of the other, and make a bow.
4. Sew the bow to the scrunchie, making sure to stitch through the center of the bow so that it will not untie.
5. Make a special button or bead with Fimo or Sculpey according to the manufacturer's instructions. Then sew the button or bead to the scrunchie.
6. Take a long piece of lace and tie it into a bow, then attach to the scrunchie. Or hand stitch along one edge of the lace and then gather it into a circle.
7. Attach a large heart button or small fake rose in the center.
8. Use fabric paint to decorate the scrunchie with squiggles, dots, or small designs like hearts.
