Shout Out

Since I still don't have any cute pictures of my own (will I ever wear a cute outfit again??? Stay tuned to find out), I thought I'd give a little shout out today.

After having the supplies for this for 100 years since October, I finally did this DIY hair tie tutorial that the amazingly resourceful Bri put together!

Here's my finished product - 30 elastic hair ties for under $5:



I'll leave you to Bri's tutorial for the instructions, with one note from my own experience - I didn't try out the sizing of mine at the beginning (uhh, dumb), so mine are a leeeeeetle bit tight (they just barely fit over my hair 3 times), but I'm alright with that since these things tend to stretch out the more you use them.  In any case, YMMV, so test out the size before you go cutting all of your elastic strips.

Thanks for the awesome idea and how-to, Bri! :)

  1. Yay I'm so glad you did it! I ended up doing another batch with some friends a few weeks ago in ome fun new colors and we each liked them a bit differently sized - so I'm glad you pointed that out in your post!! Thanks for the shout out!
