The measurements for homemade scrunchies typically depend on the desired size, with different dimensions used for mini, classic, and jumbo versions.
Standard Fabric Measurements for Scrunchies
Creating a homemade scrunchie begins by cutting a rectangular piece of fabric to the appropriate dimensions. The size of this rectangle determines the fullness and appearance of the finished scrunchie.
Based on common crafting guidelines, here are the typical fabric measurements for different scrunchie sizes:
| Scrunchie Size | Fabric Dimensions (Inches) | Fabric Dimensions (Centimeters) |
|---|---|---|
| Mini | 18" x 3" | 45.7 cm by 7.6 cm |
| Classic | 28" x 4" | 71.1 cm by 10.2 cm |
| Jumbo | 40" x 6" | 101.6 cm by 15.3 cm |
These measurements represent the length (which wraps around the elastic and creates the ruffle) and the width (which determines the scrunchie's puffiness) of the fabric rectangle you will need to cut. Once cut, this fabric is typically folded lengthwise, sewn into a tube, turned right side out, and then gathered onto a piece of elastic.
