🍂🎃Halloween Scrunchie With Charms🎃🍂

In this instructable, I'll show you how to make your own fun Halloween scrunchie to whether you're adding a touch to your costume or just wearing it around the house. I love scrunchies and wear them practically every day. So I thought it would be a fun idea to make a scrunchie for Halloween. Enjoy!

To make this project, you will need:

• Embroidery floss (any color you want is fine, I picked purple)
• 18in x 5in Orange fabric
• Small scrap of Black fabric (enough to make at least four 1.5 x 1.5 inch squares)
• Thread the same color as your orange fabric
• Eye screws 3-5 depends on how many charms you want to make
• a needle
• Polymer clay (grab enough to make 3-5 charms)
• Elastic (Measure your wrist and add an inch)
• Scissors
• Sewing Machine

Now let's start making the scrunchie!

1. Grab your black squares and place them in your preferred pattern on the orange fabric.
2. Once you have your design, start with an arm's length of your embroidery floss and thread your needle. Put the needle from the bottom of the fabric to the top of the black and then down through the top of the orange fabric.
3. Repeat until you've gone all the way around your squares.

Don't worry about making it look great. It'll look a lot more spooky if it's not perfect. Also, you don't have to embroider a square's edge if it's touching the edge of the orange because we will sew over it in the next step :)

You should now have an 18in x 5in piece of fabric with cool lookin' squares on it! :D

1. Fold your piece in half hot dog style with the squares on the inside and sew it along the open edge with your sewing machine. If you don't have one, you can always sew it with a needle and thread or you can hot glue it.
2. Turn it right side out so you can see the side with the squares. Sometimes it's a little difficult. If so, it can help to use the back of a pencil or pen to try and turn it right side out

Now that we've got our tube we can start putting in elastic! IMG 1

1. To thread the elastic through, you can attach a paper clip to the end of the elastic and guide it from the outside of the tube. I just used my fingers but this might be a better way to do it. IMG 2
2. Grab the needle and stitch through the elastic 10-15 times so it won't come undone. IMG 3&4
3. Fold over the ends of the tube, put one over the other, and sew over it with your machine. IMG 5

We finished the scrunchie. Now It's time to add the charms, which is my favorite part!

1. First of all, make and bake your charms. I made some classic Halloween ones. You could also do autumn leaves or even a wreath. Then I baked them for 30 minutes at 275º F. But depending on how thick your charms are, you might have to bake them for longer.
2. Put the screw in by poking it on the top of your charm and twisting. If it gets too hard you can use pliers to screw them in.
3. Thread your needle, put it through the top edge of the scrunchie (leave a little tail so you can tie it off), and through the eye of the screw. Do this a few times and tie the end of your thread to the tail you left.
4. Cut the thread then you're done!

Congrats! You finished the scrunchie and now you can do whatever you want with it! you could give it as a Halloween present, finish off your costume or just wear it for fun. Thanks for reading this instructable. if you did do the project I would really like to see how it turned out!

Have a nice day!
