cheap dupe of Anthro hair ties

[house]

They are just... elastics with tied knots at the end?!??

I'm planning on going to my local Joann's later today, or tomorrow, to buy a few lengths of that ribbon (I think it's called satin foldover elastic or something like that) to make some of these. my hair loves them but I don't love the price of the emi-jays that I currently have.

I was going to get some off Etsy that are cheaper too.

LOVE these. I used to get the emi-jay ones but I ordered 20 pcs. on Etsy for $15. PlumPosh, I found her via refinery29.com

I also bought 10 for 12$ in Etsy. There are a few sellers who have them

I get the 8 for $8 ones at Sephora. They have polka dot ones now too. Did these come in a blonde shade? These are the only ones that don't tear my hair.

This is exactly what I was thinking! LOL!

Thanks Mav! I'll have to check these out and grab some for my niece. Her hair ties are seeing their last days from too much use. These will be much better for when I fishtail her hair again.

[FormerCityGirl]

Cool! I can pick them up when I do movie night this week. Those will be perfect for her. She does her own hair or makes me fishtail it for her. I just wish she'd sit still! Lol!

This might have been the best "sample" I received from Birch box. I'm addicted to mine, I can't use a regular hair tie anymore.

I sell them on Etsy It is fold over elastic that is cut, knotted and sealed. Message me if you want more info. I have them in almost every color you would want. I don't have many listed on Etsy just because there are so many sellers selling them now.

There is an offer for these on Plum District today. $8 for 8 ties from Elle Dee designs - it is half off. PM me if you need an invite/link

[mrsacornblue]

I got mine on Etsy. 12 for $10. She sent me the wrong colors so I actually have more than that because she sent me replacements and let me keep the wrong ones.

They sell fold over elastic at the fabric store by the yard for next to nothing.

FYI, I went to Joann Fabrics and Hobby Lobby in search of this fold over elastic today. The lady at Joann said they didn't have it and only sold it online, but I did find a few packs of it. 2 yards of ugly colors was $7.99. Hobby Lobby had the same 2 yards of ugly colors for $7.99.

I went to Etsy and ordered 5 yards for $5.25 with shipping, and the colors are great! I would have just bought some that were already made but with 5 yards I can make a bunch and give them to friends. Thanks for the Etsy tips!

I see a lot of girls wearing these at work. What is so special about them?
