Diy Elastic Ribbon Hair Ties | Cheaper Than Dollar Tree!

Hi everyone, its Ashlee, the safety chica thanks so much for stopping by today. I wanted to show you how you can save some money on hair accessories. I really love these hair ribbons, but they can get kind of expensive. So I wanted to show you how you can make them for about 10 cents and maybe down to 5 cents per hair ties, so just stay tuned, hey guys, I thought I'd walk you through the different items. You'Ll need to create the used, hair ties and you'll need some elastic cording. You can usually find it in the craft section at different stores or in the sewing department as well, and if you can't find one that just says, elastic cord look for the 5/8 inch elastic cording, that's usually in the sewing Department. You'Ll also want some sort of ruler or any way to measure the length of the cording that you're cutting something to mark it. If you want to make it a little easier on yourself a pair of scissors - and I also picked up some fray check - you can find this in the sewing Department, and this keeps the ends of the ties from fraying. So it keeps that nice finished. Look so for the first step, we're going to take the elastic cording and we're going to go ahead and unravel that and measure it to the size that we're looking for so for making our own hair ties we're looking at eight to nine inches in length. So, depending on the how thick your hair is, you might want to make it a nine inch length if your hair is a little bit dicker and we can also leave the measurements that you'll need if you want to make headbands as well. But this is really easy. You just go ahead and measure it to the length, and then we will leave a little mark if you want to make this project even quicker after you've made. Your first mark just continue to measure off and make a second mark and make it along the whole length of these last supporting. Then you can go ahead and cut it right afterwards. So for the next step, we're taking the fray check and make sure to cut the top portion off here so that it will be open and you're. Just gon na take your ribbons and run this right along the top of your ribbons, and it will dry so that they won't fray at all, and this is great because you won't have to worry about them. Coming apart and they'll stay right in place and just let them dry after you've gone ahead and added the fray check so once the ends have dried from the fray check. You just fold this in half and you're gon na match up the ends here and you're, going to take it and form a knot just on the outside and we're gon na tie it tightly we're gon na try to get it to be not as close to The end as possible, and then when you get it there, you can go ahead and pull it tightly and you have a hair tie and now they're ready to be used. So just complete this process and all the rest of them and I'll show you what the rest looks like thanks so much for stopping by guys. I really appreciate it, and hopefully you enjoyed this tutorial if you want to make headbands as well I'll leave information for how long to cut the ribbon. So you can do that too, and they're really comfortable either way, and I hope you guys have a great week and I'll see you guys later. Bye.
