Finally it is the weekend! Sadly I am exhausted and my outfit posts have been lacking. next week I plan on bringing my A game so look for some more style posts. In the mean time I thought I would share a little DIY that I came up with the other day.
As I was wandering Hobby Lobby I stumbled upon this super cute elastic ribbon. That got me thinking....I bet I could make some of those really cute hair ties I see everywhere. Lucky for me the ribbon was 1/2 off so I picked up 3 spools for under 5.00, and at 3 yards per spool I will have enough hair accessories for the next year.
I think I am going to package these up and give them to my girl friends and maybe surprise a few strangers with a sweet gift. This would be a great activity for girls, or even a nice treat to share!
What you need:
- Elastic ribbon (mine is from Hobby Lobby, here, here, here)
- Scissors
- Ruler or measuring tape
- cardboard/card stock (optional for a way to display your ties if gifting)
Step 1
Measure out your elastic to your desired length (mine ended up being around 9in)
Step 2
Cut your elastic at the desired length (mine is 9in)
Step 3
Fold your elastic in half bringing your ends together (make sure your design is facing outward)
Step 4
Knot the ends of the elastic
Step 5
Trim off any excess elastic at the ends, and tada you have a hair tie!
Step 6 (optional)
Place the elastics around the cardboard/cardstock and attach a cute note and now you have a perfect inexpensive gift to give.
