How to make a scrunchie for your hair

2011-09-22T20:37:00.000+01:00

Supplies: a small piece of fabric about 52cm long by 6.5cm wide long and not too heavy, elastic around 24cm long by 5mm wide, scissors, needle and thread

Cut fabric to about 52cm x 6.5 cm
Fold it in half the long way with the printed side of the fabric facing eachother.
Stitch all the way down the edge to make a long tube.
Turn the tube inside out.
Cut a piece of elastic about 24cm long.
Thread the elastic through the tube then stitch the two ends of the elastic together. I stitched the two ends together twice to make it stronger.
Fold one end of the tube under about a centimetre then push the other end of the tube into the side that's folded under and stitch the ends together with small stitches

All done!

Bigger than a £1 coin!

I went to the British Museum in London on the weekend and the roof

was amazing.

It was the same day I went to see Jill and go to the Foundling Museum.

Not just the roof was amazing we saw loads of other cool stuff as well like

A pink hat and sunshiny morning

Tiny hat

I made this tiny hat, my mum showed it here before we covered it with felt. It's attached to a clip for me to wear in my hair. The hat is only 2 inches high (about 5 centimetres).

Soaking up the sun.

Our puppy likes to cuddle and she uses people as pillows.

Thank you to the people who have visited me and left such nice messages.

Bye for now.
