diy: hair ties


here is another fun diy post for you this week! i adore the hair ties sold at anthropologie (as made evident in this post). not only do i love the colors of the hair ties, but i love that they don't tug at my hair and damage it. also, they look pretty cute on your wrists when you aren't wearing them in your hair.


i purchased a few yards of fold over elastic (which can be purchased at a fabric store). one yard will produce three hair ties. cut the elastic into 12 inch strips and knot the ends (and trim the ends after doing so if you so desire). i got regular fold over elastic, glitter, and velvet.


i'm pretty happy to have all of these new hair ties to wear! admittedly, once i was done i had a pretty good time pairing off different hair ties that would look good if sold in sets. we'll see ;)

  1. i have gotten hair ties like these in my birchbox and love them! i have been them around at a couple stores but cant justify the price of them. I'm loving the DIY idea! i'm going to try making some of my own for sure. i love the sparkle ones :)
