If you’re looking for a fun girls night craft idea that’s easy, affordable, and completely customizable, this DIY charm scrunchie is it! I had all of the supplies laying around my craft room, and it only took a few minutes to turn a basic scrunchie into a cute, personalized accessory.
What You’ll Need
- Fabric scrunchies
- Jewelry charms
- 1/4-inch eyelets
- Grommet and eyelet setting tool
- Hammer
- Small hole punch (if needed)
I rounded up my favorite scrunchies, charms, eyelets, and the tools I used here.
How to Make a DIY Charm Scrunchie
Step 1: Choose Your Scrunchie
Start with any fabric scrunchie. I love using neutral colors, but bright colors and patterns are just as fun.
Step 2: Decide Where Your Charm Will Go
Pick a spot along the edge of the scrunchie where you’d like your charm to hang. Keep it close to the outer seam so the charm hangs naturally when you wear it.
Step 3: Install the Eyelet
Using a 1/4-inch eyelet and a grommet setting tool, carefully install the eyelet through the fabric. This creates a clean, reinforced opening that is much stronger than simply poking a hole through the material.
Step 4: Attach the Charm
Open the jump ring on your charm, slide it through the eyelet, and close it securely with jewelry pliers.
That’s it! In just a few minutes, you’ve created a one-of-a-kind accessory.
Charm Ideas
The best part of this project is making it your own. Try adding:
- Initial charms
- Birthstones
- Hearts
- Stars
- Flowers
- Bows
- Pearls
- Lucky charms
- Seasonal charms
- resin charms
- polymer clay charms
You can even create themed scrunchies for holidays, birthdays, sports teams, or your favorite books and movies.
Perfect for Girls Night
This DIY is one of my favorite girls night craft ideas because it’s simple enough for everyone to make, even if they aren’t experienced crafters. Set out a variety of charms and let everyone design their own. No two scrunchies will look the same, which makes the project even more fun.
It’s also perfect for birthday parties, teen sleepovers, book clubs, bridal showers, and craft nights.
Final Thoughts
I love projects like this because they take everyday items and make them feel special. Since I already had most of the supplies on hand, this ended up being a quick and inexpensive afternoon craft that I’ll definitely be making again.
If you make one, I’d love to see your design!
