I came up with this one when a friends older sister gave me some of her old clothes and other stuff. As usual, i tried to look at what it could be, not what it was (which was not my style). Part of what she gave me was a plaid hair scrunchy. Of course, since it isnt the 1993 anymore, i almost threw it away. I really liked the pattern on it tho, so i stared at it for a while and came up with this. If you decide to make a pin out of it, it goes really good with a no-fuss cardigan with slouchy pockets. Or you could pin it onto the handle of a hobo bag. If you make a headband, it goes better with your hair down or in a messy up-do. Enjoy!
Go on a quest for: (image 2)
Old scrunchies that you will [hopefully] never wear again for the benefit of all who have to see you. (lets face it, they weren't exactly a fashion break-through)
Thread that matches the scrunchy to some degree
Needle
Scissors
A few buttons that complement the scrunchy
A plain headband or pin-back
Step 1 (image 3): Cut the scrunchy in two places as shown in image three
Step 2 (image 4): There should be a piece of cut elastic inside of the larger scrunchy piece. Pull the ends so that they are sticking out of either end of the scrunchy and tie them tightly to form a rosette shape.
Step 3 (image 5): sew the cut sides of the rosette together to prevent the elasic from showing and to keep it from fraying.
Step 4 (image 6): Place a smaller button on top of a larger button. Sew them into the middle of the flower.
Step 5 (image 7): hot glue the flower to the side of a head band or a pin
Step 6: Wear it! Your friends are gonna love it!
