The next steps are exactly the same as my traditional scrunchie tutorial so you can watch the video from here or keep reading on!

I prefer to keep the white coral fleece on top when sewing bother these edges as these fabric can be prone to stretching. I recommend using a walking foot when sewing with these types of fabrics. With the right side of the minky fabric facing up, layer the long edge of the white coral fleece on the minky fabric. Ensure the long pile side of the coral fleece is facing down.

I chose to use red Minky fabric for the inner part of this scrunchie. Minky is super soft, with a low fabric pile (it’s one of my favorite fabrics). I chose to use coral fleece for the white part as it is super soft as well but has a longer pile. This gives the white part of the scrunchie that fluffy Santa appearance that it needs. Coral Fleece has a longer and fluffier pile Sew a few stitches along the length of the tube, at about 5″ intervals, to hold the red and white colors in place. I do this so the white strip stays nicely around the outside.Cut the red minky fabric to 22″ (56cm) long and 3 1/2″ (9cm) wide. Cut the white coral fleece 22″ (56cm) long and 1 1/2″ (6.5cm) wide.

I sew on the red minky fabric as this is the thread color I have in the sewing machine already. You could always sew these securing stitches along the white fabric if you want to change the sewing machine thread color to white. Below you can see the elastic threaded all the way through. Using two safety pins reduces the chances of accidentally letting go of one end of the elastic and having to thread it through all over again!

The third option would be to use a simple hand stitch with a hand sewing needle and thread to secure the ends together. It doesn’t really matter what type of stitch you do here as long as you do it multiple times so the elastic ends do not come apart. If you would like to make a Santa Christmas scrunchie then I will be showing you how in this tutorial. Using one of the safety pins, attach one end of an 8″-9″ (20sm-23cm) length of elastic to the end of the tube. Attach the other safety pin to the other end of the elastic The second option would be to overlap the elastic ends by about and inch and use a zigzag stitch to secure the elastic together. this is my preferred option. Push the tube of fabric over the safety pin until your tube has the right side of fabric on the outside.
