While making my first purse posted just before this, I came up with this idea to make hair holders purely by accident. So, I've decided to try to make some to put in my Etsy.com store. I have experimented with two different styles. The "infinity" style with streaming ends shown here:
The ends aren't really finished, yet. I'm debating to add beads and other things to the ends.
And, the plain flat one here:
I may also lengthen the idea into tie-on headbands, as well. Since Halloween is one of my favorite holidays, they're woven with black and orange t-shirt fabric. I may add some charms or ribbon to the the bottom edge.
They are secured in the hair with a chopstick. Now that I think about it, if I had used "plarn" (plastic bag yarn) these could easily be made out of discarded chinese take-out trash. Now, what would I use the pesky styrofoam or cardboard boxes for? Hmmm... Guess I could store my hair accessories in them. :)
Thanks for stopping by. Until next post, have a CAN-tastic time!

Oh, I really like the infinity style. I think they would also be very lovely with silver bells on the tail. But then again, I love ANYTHING that jingles and makes people look in my direction. :)
ReplyDeleteBells would be a wonderful idea! Thanks so much, Jaenelle! You're brilliant!!
ReplyDeleteI do have plenty of them left from when I was making my BD outfits. I would have to agree that jingling is a great for attracting attention. :)
Thanks, again,
