Ponytail holders.....

{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!
