Have you seen how much stores like Anthropolgie charge for their cute hair ties? $12 for 5? What am I, Rockefeller? [name that tv show] It turns out that fold over elastic is pretty cheap, so Anthropoligie et al. are just charging a lot because they can. I order my elastic from Elastic By The Yard, who has an excellent selection of colors. I’ve ordered from them a couple of times, and am always pleased with the customer service, and how quickly my order arrive. I have also found it at Michaels. A couple of different colored hair ties, some cardboard, and washi tape can be turned into a great little gift.
This is a great idea. I’m definitely going to try this out. I’m not surprised elastic is so cheap. DIY projects in general tends to save a boatload of money. Very cute 🙂
Thanks! I’m glad that you liked it.
I just got my elastic, I’m excited to try this!
Also, that tv show was Boy Meets World. Wasn’t it? Shhhhh don’t tell me if I’m wrong
Right decade, wrong show. 🙂
Drat! Clearly I don’t know my 90s tv well enough
As one of the happy recipients of this “cute gift”, I can add that these ties hold my hair well and add a little flair to my ponytails, too.
