A collection of adorable diy hair accessories to sew, and a few additional no-sew hair ties ideas for you. Check them out!
I'll always remember the first hair bows and diy scrunchies I made. We made.
A bunch of girls in the neighborhood and friends from school, during the summer vacation. All the fun we had while hand-stitching our own shiny, satin hair accessories!
Tons of fun colors. And wonky stitches, and the unevenly cut fabric - that did not bother us. At all. Those handmade scrunchies and bows and hair ties were top!
Worn on hair or on wrists, they remained our long-year favorites.
Who'd think that like 30 years later, those hair ties and scrunchies would be a thing again! I still love making these, and so I thought I could pull together a list for some sewing inspiration for me - and for you!
Make several of these in your favorite colors and materials, and you'll always be in trend! These diy hair accessories are all pleasant and soft to the touch and don't damage the hair. Well, scrunchies first:
Make your own scrunchie - 7 Sizes!
Scrunchies made it to the top of all the diy fashion accessories lists, and they are so easy to make! And there is a size chart for 7 scrunchie sizes (yes, 7!) if you click through to this scrunchie tutorial!

Sew a bucket hat to complement a laid-back summertime look! Technically, it counts as 'accessories', even if not exactly to tie or style your hair only. I am mentioning it because I have just released it - this new bucket hat pattern in 5 sizes. Make one for yourself and a few more! Best thing? It's a free pattern!
