For years, I've used the elastic from socks as hair ties, so it was a natural extension to use them in scrunchies. Socks tend to wear out on the bottom, leaving the top in good shape. Those who are serious about keeping textiles out of the landfill will love the new Eco-friendly Sock Top Scrunchies. Repurposed from premium 100% cotton, these wide scrunchies get their stretch from the elastic found in crew or boot length socks.  Like any other textile, the sock tops are cut off, cleaned thoroughly, and checked for like-new condition. If you like this idea and you're ready to level up your own upcycling game, stay tuned for an upcoming tutorial on how you can make your own sock-top scrunchie.
