It’s so easy to make hair accessories with buttons. My daughter has long hair and the start of summer means lots of ponytails! I stitched up a couple of super cute ponytail holders for her using buttons and hair elastic. It’s a great project to do together. I just pulled out my button jar and let my daughter pick the ones she loved and then I quickly stitched them up for her. I have to admit, the wood button hair accessories are for me! I couldn’t resist the look of them.
Supplies:
- Hair elastic
- Buttons
- Needle & Thread
Directions:
1. Hand stitch the button onto the elastic.
That’s it! You can make dozens in a an hour. They would be great to make for little girl party favors.
To make these ponytail holders, it’s better to use buttons without shanks. Of course, my daughter chose some with shanks. (I mean, who can resist butterfly buttons?) So I made a couple of additional ponytail holders using Jen Goode’s brilliant tutorial.
