These hair ties are super soft and stretchy, meaning they won't snag or leave a dent when you tie it up, and they're super easy and cheap to make - 1 metre of elastic (99p) will give you four 9-inch bands. I made a bunch of these in lovely pastel colours to give to friends as a little gift and I made a neutral set for myself.
All you need is:
» 5/8″ foldover elastic
» scissors
» measuring tape/ruler
» needle and thread (optional)
How to make the ties:
» measure 9-inches of elastic
» fold it in half
» make a knot
» secure knot with a couple of stitches (optional)
