August 25, 2017 – Our Creative Haven

Happy Friday Everyone! I hope you’ve all had a lovely week! I have been busy blogging and packing today as a couple of friends and I are off for a little weekend trip to Bournemouth this evening. I have never been a light packer, (I inherit that from my mother!), and this occasion is no different! Whoops!

So this weeks blog craft is how to make these adorable hair ties! They are super cute and really easy to make.

First up, all you’ll need is some elastic, a needle and thread and some pretty fabric.

I then cut the elastic to around 17cm long, and the fabric approx. 30cm long and 5cm wide.

Then fold the fabric in half length ways and good sides together. I then hand sewed down the length of material.

Once sewn, then turn the fabric in the right way.

Then attach a safety pin to the end of the elastic and feed it through the middle of the material. Then sew the ends of the elastic together. After this, fold the ends of the material in and sew them together.
