Title: Scrunchies Post by: Honey on January 26, 2010, 10:32:18 PM I'm looking for purple scrunchies ... not lavender. Found one place but then it's home page said it'd gone out of business.
Otherwise, I'd go for white... not that many either, about 15. Anyone know where I could get that where the postage isn't completely stupid to Ireland? Eire? Oh font of all Irish supplier knowledge!!!! Title: Re: Scrunchies Post by: Michelle on January 26, 2010, 10:35:47 PM Have you tried Ikea?
Title: Re: Scrunchies Post by: madpiano on January 26, 2010, 10:36:03 PM hmmm - I could make some, or maybe SG would like to ? Or I just tell you how to make them ?
You are talking about large or small scrunchies ? Title: Re: Scrunchies Post by: Honey on January 26, 2010, 10:38:46 PM Can you make them?? I could make them I guess, didn't know you could :mwaha:
Not tried IKEA, gonna look now! Title: Re: Scrunchies Post by: madpiano on January 26, 2010, 10:46:03 PM They are dead easy and I used to make them from fabric scraps which are dead cheap at the fabric stores. All you need is a small amount of fabric (depending on what size you want them in) and those elastics that go into men's y-fronts (these ones: http://www.yatego.com/haushaltswaren-hoehn/p,48dd02939d5fa,48d3c9d4ee3d73_3,gummiband-gold-zack-knopflochgummi (http://www.yatego.com/haushaltswaren-hoehn/p,48dd02939d5fa,48d3c9d4ee3d73_3,gummiband-gold-zack-knopflochgummi) - without the buttonholes).
1) Put fabric on the wrong side and sew a tube 2) turn inside out, fiddle in the elastic and cut the elastic to size and handsew together 3) close the hole by handsewing it together takes about 10 mins for each of them I used to use the sewing machine to make a bunch of tubes and then took them with me to handsew whenever I had some time, like on the bus or train etc. I had loads, sadly no purple ones... Title: Re: Scrunchies Post by: Michelle on January 26, 2010, 10:47:52 PM I think shes talking about the plastic bath scrunchies. But thanks fo that im always losing my hair scrunchies now i can make em up. :buttrf:
Title: Re: Scrunchies Post by: EJ on January 26, 2010, 10:48:49 PM I've a suspicion that Honey's looking for bath scruchies - not hair scrunchies MP.
(snap Michelle) Title: Re: Scrunchies Post by: madpiano on January 26, 2010, 10:49:22 PM ooh, oops, lol - best place for those is Superdrug and Ikea
and no worries Michelle, they are so easy to make and you sometimes get the fabric scraps for free Title: Re: Scrunchies Post by: Eire on January 26, 2010, 10:51:21 PM Salon services might be expensive, they usually are for that type of thing. Pennys of Euro shops would be a better bet. I think they are 1.50 in Pennys. I used loads in baskets at xmas. They had white, pink, lav and purple. I'll check Newbridge if you have no luck up there. I'll make a couple of calls tomorrow.
Eire Title: Re: Scrunchies Post by: Honey on January 26, 2010, 10:52:35 PM Yes, sorry... meant shower ones. Should have been clearer.
Thanks Eire - I can check Penneys in DL also... and of course, Salon Services, we use them in work (d'oh!). Thanks! Title: Re: Scrunchies Post by: walnutgrove on January 26, 2010, 11:34:31 PM never mind mp, i had NO idea what they were going on about! :mwaha:
