On the larger piece of fabric for the scrunchie, with the wrong side facing up, fold both long edges 0.25″ inward and press it with a cloth iron.

With the right side of the fabric facing up, fold the fabric in half shortwise, then pin both short edges together.

Sew along the short edge with a 0.25″ seam allowance.

Put the hair tie between the folds, then pin both folded long edges. Sew along the folded long edge.

For the bow strip, with the wrong side facing up, fold the fabric for the bow strip in half lengthwise, open it, then fold both long edges toward the center folded line, then fold it again so that both edges align. Topstitch along both edges

For the bow, with the right side facing up, fold it in half with both short edges aligned. Sew along the frayed edge with a 0.25″ seam allowance and skip 1.5″ in the center for the opening gap.

Turn the fabric right side out. Use a chopstick to push each corner. Fold the opening inward and press the fabric with a clothes iron.

Fold the fabric for the bow in half, marking the folding spot on both edges. Draw a line connecting both spots. Straight stitch along the line using a hand-sewing needle.

Pull the thread and loop it around the center to create a bow. Put the bow on the scrunchie, then the strip

Fold one end of the strip so the raw edge is inside the fold. Sew the strip using a hand-sewing needle with a ladder stitch. You can stitch it through the scrunchie.

The bow scrunchie is ready to use now.

How To Use Bow Tie Scrunchie

There are various ways to use bow tie scrunchie to achieve different styles of everyday hairstyles.

Ponytail or single braid hairstyle
Make a regular ponytail by gathering whole hair strands, then tie it with a scrunchie with the bow tie on the top. You might want to do one or a few loops of scrunchie, depending on the thickness of the ponytail.

Hair bun
Create a hair bun, high bun or lower one, and tie it with a hair elastic and hair pins if needed. Attach the bow scrunchie to the hair bun with the bow tie option on the top or the bottom.

Pigtail or twin tails
Customize the fabric measurement to make smaller bow scrunchies to tie the twin-tails or twin-braid hairstyle.

There are more ways to use bow scrunchie other than the ones mentioned above. It is also great for birthday party favors, gift ideas, or craft market booth displays.
