{Pretty Ponytail Ties}
Our church is amazing! If you are ever in the Lancaster/Harrisburg/York area, you need to check out LCBC Church! But anyway.....I get to work in a kindergarten environment......we have about 40ish kindergartners in our first service on a Sunday morning.
One Sunday a little girl came in with the most beautiful hair tie......as we worked on our craft, I ask her if her Mom had made it and then proceeded to examine how her Mom put it together.
Here's my best attempt at recreating what I saw that day!
First....pick coordinating ribbon in a variety of widths......
Find your center point and stack the ribbons from largest width to smallest.......at this point I actually then made my lengths vary too....it just gave it more variety and poof!
I then stitched an X by hand to hold all the ribbons together.
Find a coordinating hairband and stitch it to your ribbons......I thought that I was done at this point, but when I put it in my daughter's hair, it looked weird.
So I grabbed a piece of the pink polka dot ribbon and tied it around the hair band and the ribbons to make a more pronounced center-point.
It looks really cute in her hair.....and was so inexpensive to make! I can't wait to make some red, white, and blue for the summer!

Brilliant! I never thought of sewing it to an elastic- perfect. We are doing this at our house!
Sadly, my little girl is 14 now...but she just made cheerleading at her highschool next year and cheerleaders wear ribbons!! This might be a good idea for them! I told my daughter that I really looked forward to seeing her hair in bows again. (She rolled her eyes) ;-)
