I love creaseless hair ties and I haven’t found anyone who doesn’t love them. I think they are the cat’s meow! They are fantastic to use in your hair, but they also look super cute on your wrist when your not using them. Do you ever go into an expensive store, see them and think “Hey I could totally make these myself”? Here is a DIY to show you how to make your own fabulous hair ties in any awesome pattern you can find.
Supplies you will need:
1) Lighter
2) Scissors
3) Measuring Tape
4) Elastic 3/5 inch, you can also use 3/8 inch (70% nylon, 30% spandex: I bought my from Hobby Lobby, they have all kinds of different designs, check you local craft stores or online for more patterns/colors)
Measure your elastic
Cut elastic at 9.5 inches. Experiment with making it larger or smaller so that it fits your wrist or hair just the way you like it.
After cutting elastic, fold in half and line the edges up together.
Tie elastic in a knot.
Tighten the knot, make sure it is towards the end of the band to create a small tail.
Hold the elastic band in your hand and light the lighter. Hold the flame near the ends of the elastic to create a seal. You will see it seal once the flame is close. Don’t get to close, it could catch on fire.
Now you finished and ready to start rocking your awesome hair ties!
