Since elastic hair ties became all the rage,  I started making my own a couple of years ago because of the hefty price tag that came with purchasing them.  They are sold everywhere from Anthropologie, Jcrew, and Target for about $15 dollars for 5 hair ties.

These cute little accessories are super easy to make and super affordable. A couple of years ago, I made a whole bunch to last me years.  Recently my co-worker asked me if I could provide her with a few black hair ties, so here is a tutorial of how I make them!

Supplies:
5/8 inch elastic (purchased online or local fabric store)
Scissors
Lighter

Below are the steps on how to make your own elastic hair ties.

As always, package cutely and enjoy your new affordable hair accessories!
