Warnings

It’s a hair scrunchie - It’s designed to hold your ponytail in place. So……

Don’t chew them. Yuk!

Don’t give them to little ones under 3 - they would probably chew them or strangle themselves. Neither of which are very good.

Don’t use them as catapults. It makes adults cross! It could break a prized vase from the Ming period (very, very expensive). It could even hurt someone.

Up cycling your scrunchie

So what could you do with your scrunchie? Up cycling requires a little bit of imagination sometimes - here are a few of our ideas…..

Use it as a tutu skirt on your favourite little teddy - See attached pictures!!

Use it on your next craft project.

You could use it as a giant elastic band.

Tie it onto your pencil case zip, or a coat zip - it makes the zip easier to use and more colourful!

Use it as a plant tie in the garden - your sunflowers would look amazing tied to their canes in these bright colours

Don’t forget, if you get fed up of your lovely scrunchie (as we all change our minds from time to time!) or if you cut your hair and no longer need it - donate it to a family member or friend. Don’t forget to ask an adult if it’s ok!

Up cycling ……

Your lovely scrunchie has arrived……woo-hoo…….As you rush off to restyle your hair and abandon the card they came on, take a breath. Do you throw the card away? Well let’s be honest, you could! But you could also do something else with it instead. Try these few ideas for inspiration…..

Use the card as a bookmark. Use your pens or pencils to decorate it - if you want - and slip it between the pages of your favourite book.

Use the card to store ribbon, wool or thread. We always keep ribbon, wool and twine that comes on presents, new clothes and all manor of things. To store the newly acquired ribbon; simply wind it around the card. You might need a little bit of tape to hold it in place or ask an adult to cut a slit into the side (about 1cm deep) and the end of your ribbon can sit happily in there.
