Today I’ve got one of those easier-than-easy projects – which suits my weekend, because things are still all torn up around my house. ;) But to get ready for the seasons, you can turn tags and other embellishments into cute little girly hair accessories!
This was a five-minute project (drying time was a little extra). Â Let me give you the run-down on how to attach hair ties to wooden tags! Â I got these wooden tags from Wholeport. Â My kiddo thinks they look sad… I think they are cute. Â But we may need to draw a smiley face on. ;) Haha.
You will need a cute tag or embellishment, a hair elastic, a scrap of felt and craft glue. Â You will probably also find it helpful to have a couple clothespins on hand while it dries, depending on what type of glue you are using.
Cut your felt to fit the backside of your tag. Â Cover your tag with a bit of craft glue. Â You can use hot glue (I didn’t… because I can’t seem to find my hot glue gun. Â *sigh*) I really like water-soluble super glue, but you can stick to your own preference.
Add your hair tie, and cover it with your felt. Â If you’re using a slower-drying glue (like I am) you might want to clip a clothespin onto it for a close bond.
All you need to do is let it dry (depending on the glue you use, it could be an hour or overnight) and then it’s ready to wear! Â If you (or your kids) aren’t big on ponytailers, you can also use an alligator clip instead with the same method.
Love this little touch! Â The hair tie held up a whole lot better than the ponytail itself, haha!
Such a cute bunny, fun idea for Easter and spring!
How adorable! I wonder if you could use shrinky dinks for this too and totally customize them.
I agree with Kiddo. An upturned mouth will make all the difference and it will only take a second to turn a frown into a smile.
great idea!! I love this. so cute – I just need to find something to glue on to the elastic
