I’d usually measure each side and try to work out how many scrunchies in each size I can make to minimise fabric waste. Then I’d use a ruler to guide the rotary cutter, but I’m not great at using it so can’t really give advice on that 😅

@@darahandmadeau - still a terrible idea - safety ideas don’t change depending on what part of the world you are from.

Hi there, I’m no expert but personally I like to use any fabric that is soft and lightweight on the hair, and I wanna say it also depends on the season/occasion/purpose,etc. as well. For example, in winter time you might want to try velvet scrunchies, whereas microfibre towel scrunchies are great for soaking up moisture,… In my store at the moment I sell mostly satin and cotton scrunchies.

@darahandmadeau Жыл бұрын

It’s enough for me and my customer base. I’ve got thin Asian hair. Also I sell in Australia and my feedbacks so far have been good. If I did 10” then it’d wrap around the hair 3, 4 times and that might ruin the look of the scrunchy. But it’s good to know some have thicker hair and require more.

Thanks for the feedback. Cutting forward doesn’t seem to work for me, therefore I feel like it’s more dangerous (for me). I have covered the burrito method in another video, and also demonstrated the ladder stitch to hide the seams completely.
