How do I repair my scrunchie

edda

Has anyone got any idea how to reconstruct a shower scrunchie?

Over time, these unpick themselves and I am just left with a piece of netting and a bit of rope. :rolleyes:

I've tried to tuck in bits of the material as they come out; waiting until it all falls apart and rebuilding it from scratch; sewing it togather in a ball shape. None of this works.

I'm not very good at handicrafts but don't want to keep buying new ones. After all, a tiny drop of shower gel or cream on a scrunchie helps with the money saving!

Hi i repair my scrunchie!

i hope i can explain it though
lay out the unravelled looonnnnnnnngggggg netting and then start gathering it like a concertina. hold it tightly. wrap the cord around tightly and tie a knot - 'quicky' !

if the cord is in a preknotted loop, have it folded and flat and holding one end of the loop close to the scrunchie, wrap the other loop (this will be the hanging bit), round and feed through the other end you were holding, now to make it a knot - push the hanging loop bit, a little under the wrapped cord - but don't pull through; you should have created another small hooped bit to feed the cord back through again - pull tight to complete the hanging bit.

my one starts to become a little loose after couple of months and so i 'repair' it again, until the netting starts to actually rip.

When mine start coming apart, I wrap them with nylon thread and use them for cleaning - they're fantastic for scrubbing tiles as they're abrasive without being damaging. I don't like using them on me when they get all scraggly and as I get four for £1 they're cheap enough to replace often
