FOE Hair Tie Tutorial

Ok, seriously y'all, these hair ties have to be the easiest hair accessory to make of all time. No kidding!!! The most difficult part about it is finding the FOE(Fold Over Elastic), but if you are used to purchasing online then no problemo! The best place that I have found to purchase it is on Etsy. It usually is about 90 cents a yard on Etsy (for chevron FOE- that is my favorite!!!)
So, here's what you need...
•FOE (Fold Over Elastic)
•Scissors
•Tape measure (or ruler)
•Lighter
Yep, that's it!!

Ok, on to the directions...

1.) Start by laying out your FOE in a straight line, lining it up with your tape measure.


2.) Next, cut the FOE to the size you prefer (usually anywhere from 10 inches to 11 1/2 inches.) I like to cut my FOE at 10 1/2 inches because it fits comfortably around my wrist when I'm not wearing it in my hair ;) and I think it holds my hair well at that size. But you can play around with it to best fit your hair type and wrist size.



3.) Use a lighter to heat seal the ends of the FOE.



4.) Fold the FOE in half.



5.) Now tie a knot towards the open end of the folded piece if FOE. You will have to work with it when you are tightening the knot to get it where you want it.





You're done!! Woohoo!!! See! The very easiest DIY hair accessory of all time!! Enjoy, friends!! :)
