Scrunchies and their types:

A scrunchie is a hair accessory that is very modest and elegant to wear on women’s hair. There are various types of scrunchies, and I’m going to tell you five types of scrunchies that are trendy in 2025 to sell online.

Types of Scrunchies You Can Make

Start with 4–5 varieties. Each type attracts different customers and helps your shop look more creative.

• Satin Scrunchies – Shiny and perfect for daily use

• Velvet Scrunchies – Soft and premium look

• Organza Scrunchies – Light, transparent, and stylish

• Bow Scrunchies – With a cute bow knot

• Mini Scrunchies – For kids and short hair

• Tip: Make a combo pack of 3 or 5 scrunchies — combos sell faster than singles!

What You Need to Start

You can begin with ₹500–₹1000 only! Here’s what you’ll need:

• Fabric pieces – Satin, velvet, organza, cotton (start with 1–2 meters each)

• Elastic – ½ inch or 1-inch width (good quality stretch)

• Needle and thread – or a basic sewing machine (manual or electric)

• Safety pin – to insert the elastic easily

• Scissors, ruler, chalk – for cutting and marking

• Packaging items – small thank-you cards, paper tags, and zip covers

You can buy all these from your local fabric shop or online sites like Amazon, Flipkart, or Fabriclore

Investment to start your small business:

If you are a beginner, you can start your business with just 12$-15$ (500-1000rs). Imagine if you buy materials for 12$-15$ (500-1000rs) and if you sell each scrunchie for 3$-4$(150 - 170rs), and if you can sell 20 scrunchies means you will get a profit 60$-80$(3000-3400). Simply, you can buy materials for a Coffee cost or a notebook cost to start a small business if you are a school or college student.

How to Make a Scrunchie (Step-by-Step)

• Cut fabric 20 inches long and 4 inches wide.

• Fold the fabric lengthwise (right sides together).

• Stitch the long edge and turn it inside out.

• Use a safety pin to insert the elastic through the fabric tube.

• Stitch the elastic ends together.

• Close the opening neatly — and your scrunchie is ready!

• You can watch a few YouTube videos to get the stitching idea visually.

Pricing Calculation:

You can calculate like this and follow my format to start your small business.

• Now, if you sell each scrunchie for ₹40–₹50, you get around ₹25–₹35 profit per piece!

• If you sell 100 scrunchies in a month =₹2,500 to ₹3,500 profit.

• Once you grow, you can easily earn ₹10,000–₹15,000/month or more.

Tip to sell scrunchies:

When you sell through online platforms like Etsy, Shopify, or your website, add an additional cost to your scrunchie

• Transaction fee (3-5%)

• Platform commission

• Marketing cost

Conclusion:

• Starting a scrunchie business is the best side hustle for beginners — it’s low investment, creative, and gives you confidence to grow your own brand.

• Don’t wait for “perfect time.” Start today with what you have. Even one fabric roll can be the start of something big.
