Mismatched socks. Everybody has 'em. I know I do. So why throw them away when you can make great hair scrunchies??
I found this project the other day, but I do not remember where I got it from. Anyway, I think it's a great upcycling project. It's fun and super easy, and the best part is, you can make it with materials you already have at home!
Materials:
- an old (CLEAN) mismatched sock or two
- scissors
- two fingers
- and about 5 minutes of your precious time.
 |
step 1: gather all you supplies. yup, that's all you'll need!
NOTE: striped socks work the best! |
 |
| step 2: now cut along the stripes... |
 |
| ...OR if you don't have stripes, cut strips no larger than 1/2 an inch. |
 |
This is what it should look like, make sure to leave off the heel, toe and top of the sock
NOTE: save the stretchy top part of the sock!! IT WILL BE USED LATER! |
 |
| step 3: take a strip and double it over |
 |
step 4: slide it onto your finger, twist it only half way (so it looks like an 8)
and slide the other loop onto your other finger |
 |
| step 5: now do the same with the next loop |
 |
step 6: lift the bottom loop over the top one and slide it completely
off the finger. then do the same for the other finger
 |
| it should now look like this... |
|
 |
| continue this until it is 8 or 9 links long... |
 |
step 7: take the top stretchy part of the sock and pull it through
the loops of both sides of the scrunchie |
 |
step 8: to fasten it, insert one of the loops into the other and pull tight
 |
step 9: secure the loop in the hole below it and pull
 |
| You're all done! :) |
