Tutorial: Makeing Hair Ties

Hi guys! I'm so excited to be sharing my first ever tutorial! Today we are going to be making 5 minute hair ties! I'm saying five minute since it takes literally five minuets. I'll make these when I'm leaving and need a hair tie or just give them as gifts! I learned to make these from these sites:
http://sunnytuesday.blogspot.com/2011/09/hairband-tutorial.html
I can't re-find the other site but when I do i'll make sure to give credit!
Now to get makeing these
Supplies :
candle/flame of some sort. just don't use a bonfire.
fold over elastic. you can get this on eBay but I got it from pick your plum.
scissors
measuring tape ( optional )

These are my elastics. I have more but these were all I could find.

Top: pink, brown, red, white, black 

left: coral, blue, red, black, white 

Right: small elastic I use for head bands  

cut a 9 inch strip.

 I prefer bigger elastics so i do 11-13 inch hair ties. 

These are perfect for messy buns.

The top is the shiniy side and bottom is dull side -dont mix these up!

lay it flat with shiniy side down and tie like a ballon 

melt the ends to pervent fraying

you can also use clear nail polish. 

It's done !
