Looking for an idea for a DIY scrunchie holder? This one is super simple and works great!
With two daughters, we have no shortage of hair bands and scrunchies. In fact, you can find a handful in pretty much any room in our house. To bring some organization to the chaos, I created the simplest DIY scrunchie holders with inexpensive mailers and a few scraps of fabric. Are you ready for the quick and easy details? (post includes commissionable links; for more information, see my full disclosure statement {here})
Start with a few 2″ mailing tubes such as {these} that come in a pack of two. You can leave them their full length or cut them shorter with an X-ACTO knife if you want to be able to stand them up in a drawer that’s shallower than your tube.
Then, if you want to add a little color or pattern to your scrunchie holder, cover it with fabric. Simply cut a small piece of fabric that’s about 1-2″ longer than the tube, wrap it around the tube,
tuck the extra fabric on each end into the tube, and then put the plastic end caps back on to hold the fabric in place. Done!
If there are multiple girls in your house, consider covering each mailing tube with a different fabric so it’s obvious whose scrunchie holder is whose:
The size of these gift mailers works perfectly for hair elastics and scrunchies – the 2″ diameter of the tubes is large enough that the hair bands stay in place but small enough that you can get any of the bands on or off without moving the others.
While they aren’t nearly as sturdy, if you don’t want to pay for the mailers you could also use the center of a paper towel roll or toilet paper roll.
If you want to buy instead of DIY, a few favorite options include {these acrylic scrunchie holders} or {this metal scrunchie holder}.

And if you want a simple way to just store hair bands, I’ve found that an inexpensive 2″ binder ring like one of {these} works beautifully:
