How to Make Knotted Hair Ties
supplies
- 2 pieces of fabric each about 8″x 4″
- A hair elastic.
- The free pattern piece grab it above
Instructions
Step One: Print out the Pattern
- Print out the free pattern (link above) and use it to cut out two pieces of fabric.
Step Two: Sew
- Place your two pieces of cut fabric on each other with the right sides together and sew around the perimeter using a 1/4″ seam allowance. Leave a 1-inch opening for turning. (As shown in the photograph, I leave my opening in the middle of one of the sides.)
Step Three: Clip Curves
- Using pinking shears (or the method of your choice), clip the curves of your bow without cutting through your stitching.
Step Four: Turn Right Side Out
- Turn your bow right side out using the opening you left in the stitching. Press.
- *Note: At this point, you can also hand-stitch the opening closed; however, I don’t do that. If you left the opening in the middle of the bow, it will be covered when you tie the bow.
Step Five: Add Elastic
- Slide your bow through your elastic hair tie so that the hair tie is centered in the middle of your bow.
Step Six: Finishing
- Tie in a knot and fluff.
- And you are done!
- Repeat as many times as necessary.
