DIY hair elastic

Nowadays you can buy any hair decorations in the store, but you can make some of them yourself. For example, a regular hair tie. Making a hair tie at home is as easy as shelling pears and the cost will be minimal. I want to share with you how to make a very ordinary hair tie.
Necessary materials:
1. Satin ribbon 45 cm (ribbon width 3 cm).
2. Elastic band 20 cm.
3. Scissors, needle and black thread.



We take our ribbon and a needle and black thread. The wrong side of the tape needs to be folded in half lengthwise. Sew with a tight stitch with the needle forward until the end of the tape.


Of course, if you have a sewing machine, it will be faster to sew this line on a machine. Now you need to turn the tape right side out.


The next step is to insert our elastic band into the sewn ribbon. The length of the elastic can vary depending on your hair thickness. We put a pin on one edge of the elastic.


We tighten the elastic band into the sewn ribbon, and put a regular clip on the other edge of the elastic band. This is so as not to lose the elastic.


We pull the pin out of the ribbon, collecting the ribbon on the elastic band.


Now we sew the edges of the elastic together.


Carefully hide the elastic under the ribbon and stitch it so that the edges of the ribbon are inside.



The hair tie is ready!
