This is such a simple idea and lots of fun for little girls to make their own. Have a good search through your button box and see what you can find to make these super easy hair ties.
Total Time: 5 minutes
Supplies:
- buttons with a shank
- elasticated ponytail bands
- optional nail varnish or acrylic paint
Steps:
- Choose buttons with a shank - that is ones with a loop at the back rather than holes.
- Find an elasticated pony band that will fit through the shank.
- Loop one end through the other.
- And you have your new fancy hair tie.
- If you don't like the colour of your button, or if it is scratched like this one, you can paint it with nail varnish or acrylic paint.
- This big beautiful button needed an extra thick band to hold it.

It might be hard to find button w large enough shank. I think any button would work esp one with 4 holes would work if really strong thread was used and stitched over the elastic many times and tied off tightly
