If the fabric you have selected is worn out from the edges, then you should press it over one of the short ends. If your fabric frays, then press over one of the short ends by 1/2 inch (12mm) on the WRONG side. If your fabric does not fray, then you can easily skip this step and move on to the next one.
Step 2: Start Stitching
You should fold the fabric lengths in such a way that the wrong side comes out. It is so because the right side will come out when you will finish folding. Now, seam the ½ inch and bring the loose ends together.
Step 3: Turn It Out
By using the safety pin, you should try to bring out the right side. Firstly, fix the pin at the corner of the scrunchie and turn your pin around into the tube. Try the pull out the pin from another end of the scrunchie. This step is a little tricky! But once you will do it, then you will find it quite easy. When you will precisely follow all the steps which are mentioned below, then you can create beautiful scrunchies like silk scrunchies Canada.

Now, your scrunchie needs to be flattened by the press or using hands. If you are using cotton fabric, then you can give it a good press. On the other hand, if you are using Lycra fabrics, then you should give it try and flatten it out with your fingers. Make sure the seam is on the wrong side so that it is not visible after folding the scrunchie.
Step 5: Thread the Elastic
Now, it is time to add elastic to the scrunchie. You can again use a safety pin to move the elastic inside the scrunchie. Attach the safety pin at the one end of the elastic and move the safety pin inside the hollow space of the scrunchie. With the help of a safety pin, the elastic will move inside the scrunchie.
Step 6: Stitch the Elastic
Now, the elastic is inside the fabric and your scrunchie is almost ready. You can either stitch the two ends of elastic or make a loop of them. It is important to stitch the end fabric so that elastic is not visible.
Step 7: Final Stitch of the Ends
Sew the ends of the fabric in such a way the elastic joint hide inside. Now, finally, feed the raw edge of the fabric inside the pressed edge. If you have used DIY scrunchie and do not have pressed edge, then simply put one end on another. You should overlap it by ½” to hide the raw edge.
