This pretty hair scrunchie is quick and easy to make and will compliment any outfit. Make one to match your child’s school uniform or any other outfit. I have decorated this one with pearl beads and silver sequins. This can be varied for a different effect by using different colored and shaped beads or even by working the last row in a contrasting color.
