Can't find your scrunchie? Make one!
I tie my hair back a lot. As Violet Baudelaire once put it, you can't let something trivial like hair distract you from your thoughts. But, I lose them a lot. So I thought I'd make my own.

The best thing about this is you can pretty much use any fabric - it doesn't have to be expensive, and I suggest raiding the offcuts bins at your local fabric store. I found a piece of fabric for £1.50 that's made 8 scrunchies. Elastic isn't expensive, either, and you don't need that much for this project.

You don't need a sewing machine for this - it can be done by hand, too. :)
