Botanica Stitches

Hi, I’m Ieva and I love making and wearing scrunchies! I am an NHS keyworker and making scrunchies is one of my favourite hobbies!

I love up-cycling and being sustainable, therefore most of my scrunchies are made using thrifted fabrics or purchased from local small businesses (let’s support each other!).

You will find satin, velvet, funky and simple scrunchies, these can be made as oversized scrunchies or smaller to suit your hair. All orders come wrapped in pink tissue paper and ribbon, and a thank you note or a card (with a special message if you’d like).

Thank you so much for checking out my products, and feel free to use my Etsy link to order ❤️
