Something I never leave the house without is one of my favorite elastic hair ties—seen here and here. I love the thickness, knotted ends and soft material that never breaks my hair. Since some of you asked about the black ones I recently made, so I thought I'd share how incredibly easy and cost friendly they are to make on your own.
1: Pick up at least a few yards of stretchy elastic (3/4" - 1" thick) from your local craft store—or here.

Um, thank you. I have wanted some of these, badly. But they are expensive little guys. xoxo
such a good idea!
LOVED your Apartment Therapy House Tour, btw.
Just a tip: I couldn't find any of the elastic at my local Hobby Lobby so I just bought a few yards on Etsy, the official name to search for is "fold over elastic"
Also, I highly recommend a little bit of fray block on the ends of the hair-tie to keep them from fraying!
happy DIY-ing :)
love it! they are like $5 each here so i love your tip! nice blog!
I love your ideas!! Your blog is amazing, so happy I came across it.
