With more days spent working at home than ever before, I think all of our hair routines have switched up. Gone are the days of blow drying and straightening/curling my hair every day and I know many of my friends have done the same. This new embrace of my natural hair has led me to need more hair clips, scrunchies, and all those do-dads, but as always, you know I’m not running out to the store to get them!
Instead, I hopped over to my sewing machine and taught myself how to make a hair scrunchie with a knot bow. Why did I need that extra step of adding the knot bow? Because it’s so darn cute! Check out below how to make a scrunchie of your own, plus grab the printable pattern for free.
