I found the price of these ribbon hair elastics ridiculous! I wasn't going to be paying a dollar for a hair tie! So I found a way of making them myself. The main item you need to make your own is fold over elastic. I searched online and found the cheapest place to get the fold over elastic (FOE) was ebay. I'll link the store I bought it from below. But I bought enough elastic to make 150 elastics for $12 including shipping. That would have bought me maybe 10 hair ties most places.
Where I got my FOE:

ebay:

Materials you'll need:
- Fold over elastic
- scissors
- ruler
- clear nail polish (optional)
- Cut a 9 in. piece of elastic.
- Lightly coat the ends with clear nail polish so they won't fray as easily. (optional)
- Let that dry for about 30 sec. or until it feels dry.
- Fold your strip in half.
- Tie a knot on the end.
Your done! These will stretch out a bit after a couple uses but nothing terrible. I Hope I helped you save some money with these DIY hair ties!
Hope your having a wonderful day!
