How one Young Girl’s Small Business is Making a Difference for our Shelter Animals!

Seven year old Quinnley Bruce loves animals! In fact, she loves them so much she took donations for The Cochrane & Area Humane Society instead of gifts for her last birthday.

Last Christmas, Quinnley received a sewing machine. While experimenting, she began to make scrunchies. In case you don’t know what a scrunchie is, it’s a fabric covered elastic hair tie. Great for tying back medium to long hair! Quinnley made several using different fabrics and patterns and shortly they started to gain popularity when friends and family members wanted there own. That is when Scrunchie Q’s was born!

Quinnley, with the help of her mom now has her own successful business Scrunchie Q’s creating variety of hair scrunchies in all sorts of fun colours and every pattern you can imagine!

She sells her scrunchies on Instagram and also at the Cochrane Farmers Market and 10% of her sales are donated to the Cochrane & Area Humane Society! Quinnley loves that she is able to help the animals in her own way.

If you would like to support Quinnley and CAHS, please visit and follow her Instagram page and help spread the word for Scrunchie Q’s!
