We’re back with another DIY, brought to us by the awesome Erin of Thanks, I Made It. Keep reading to see how to make some fun hair elastics, and stop by Thanks, I Made It to see more of Erin’s original DIYs!
With the season’s heat and humidity, a hair elastic is an absolute summer staple. Since they are never far from my wrists, I’m going to use them to add a pretty bit of color. It’s easy to make your own colorful hair ties with only a pair of sharp scissors and a yard of fold over elastic. (I used 5/8″ fold over elastic, which you can get by calling the store.)
Cut a piece of fold over elastic about 9 inches long.
Tie the ends in a simple knot.
Trim the ends at a 45 degree angle. To keep ends from fraying, use fray check or gently fuse with a lighter.
As simple as they are to make, you can make a whole rainbow!
I spend way too much on these hair ties! Thank you for the motivation to make my own
I can’t believe that’s all it takes to make something that so many people are buying like crazy!

I can not find this trim anywhere on the store site. Help please.
Greetings from Idaho! I’m bored to tears at work so I decided to browse your site on my iphone during lunch break. I love the information you present here and can’t
wait to take a look when I get home. I’m shocked at how fast your blog loaded on my phone .. I’m not even using WIFI, just 3G .
. Anyways, awesome blog!
Does your blog have a contact page? I’m having problems locating it but, I’d like to send you an
email. I’ve got some creative ideas for your blog you might be interested in hearing. Either way, great website and I look forward to seeing it expand over time.
Hi! I could have sworn I’ve been to this blog before but after going through a few of the posts I realized it’s new to me.
Anyways, I’m certainly delighted I discovered it and I’ll be bookmarking it and checking back regularly!
Definitely consider that which you said. Your favorite justification appeared to be on the net the easiest factor to keep in mind
of. I say to you, I certainly get annoyed whilst people consider
issues that they just do not know about. You managed to hit
the nail upon the highest as smartly as outlined out the
entire thing without having side-effects , folks could take a signal.
Will likely be again to get more. Thanks
