How to sew a hair tie with your own hands
I’ll start, as always, with a list of what I needed to sew accessories:
- corduroy fabric - 20 cm.
- underwear elastic - 17 cm.
- thread in color - 1 spool
- sewing tools - scissors, measuring tape, tailor's pins, safety pin, sewing machine
01. The pattern of an elastic band with a bow looks like this. Seam allowances are already included. You can build it directly on fabric, or on A4 sheet, and then transfer it.
02. I cut out elastic details from corduroy.
03. I sew the detail of the belt and bow using an overlocker. I did this on an overlocker, but this operation can also be repeated on a sewing machine. At the same time, I leave the hole in the middle unsewn on the bow, and both ends on the elastic.
04. Turning the elastic waistband inside out using a safety pin
05. I turn the bow detail right side out. I sew the hole by hand with a thread and a needle. I iron it. Corduroy is not afraid of ironing, so feel free to iron it with steam, after which it takes the desired shape.
06. I take a 17 cm long elastic band. I pass it through the belt piece. I fasten the ends of the elastic to the belt with tailor's pins.
07. I sew the elastic overlapping the parts of the belt with the elastic on top of each other.
08. I tie a bow around the place where the seam formed. I sew the bow in several places to the elastic by hand.
My elastic bands are ready, I wasn’t lazy and sewed three of them, which was enough for the leftovers in the fabric.
Sophista twist for hair
Now there is a fashion for the 90s, which fell on the years of my youth. And anyone who lived through this time probably remembers that at the peak of our popularity we had such an intricate thing for hair, called a twist sophist. We spun it on our heads as best we could, based on our imagination. Unfortunately, today I can’t boast of so many hairstyles, but on the other hand, I am now a master of bun hair.
Everything I need for beautiful bun- this is my sophistry twist. No matter how much I looked, it was always the same shade in stores. Now I’ll show you how you can quickly and easily change its color and add some “spice.”
01. I cut out a piece from corduroy that completely follows the outline of the sophist. I sew it along the edge. Inside I leave a hole equal in length to the exact same one on the hairpin.
02. I put the cover on the sophist, I sew the inner hole by hand with a thread and a needle.

Master class on making accessories
There are many different types of hair ties. They can be satin, textile, lace and even plastic. Depending on the style and purpose, they can be supplemented with feathers, beads, rhinestones and other interesting details. But first you need to learn how to make the base for the elastic band.
Base for gum
The basis of a hair elastic from a regular elastic band is the first thing you need to learn how to do when creating unusual hair decorations with your own hands.
For this you will need:
To make the base of the scrunchie, you first need to make a fabric “wrapper” for it to make it look aesthetically pleasing.
Take a rectangular piece of fabric. Fold it in half long side right side inward and stitch along the long edge.
If the workpiece turns out to be wide, you can connect the ends of the workpiece and stitch it approximately to the middle, leaving a small hole for turning it inside out.
Now you need to turn the workpiece inside out, insert an elastic band, tie its ends and sew the opposite ends of the product. Ready product you can supplement it and decorate it with various decorative elements.
Satin bow
To the light and gentle summer dress DIY elastic bands made from satin ribbons are perfect. To make them you will need the following materials and tools:
- finished product;
- satin ribbons and lace of arbitrary length;
- beads in the color of the lace or contrasting, but combined with them;
- needle;
- threads
Rubber bands can be shaped like a bow or a flower..
For everyday wear, you can make elastic bands from grosgrain ribbons with your own hands. This is almost the same as satin ribbons, but they are matte and denser and can have a variety of colors. In addition, this material is much more docile and does not require processing - the edges of the tape can simply be burned.
- Option 3. Take a wide satin ribbon or a strip of delicate chiffon. Make a tie in the middle of the strip, along its entire length with a “forward needle” stitch and tighten the thread. It should form a nice fluffy bow. Tie the middle with a ribbon.
It is not necessary to make a new base for each elastic band yourself; you can use ready-made elastic bands from the store.
Flower decoration
To make a flower, you will need a ribbon, as well as a small base. You can take, for example, cardboard.
Cut out a circle the size of the core of a flower, prepare threads, a needle and a button or large bead in the center.
To make a flower, you need to gather the ribbon along one edge so that when you tighten the thread, a circle is formed. Do this twice with two different scraps.
Now they need to be glued to the cardboard base so that it is in the middle. To disguise sloppiness, place in the center a beautiful button or a bead. Sew the finished flower to the base.
For a sophisticated outfit and hairstyle, a rosebud in a young lady's hair will look great. It is also made from satin ribbon. You will need ribbon, a needle, and threads in color. The step-by-step manufacturing process is shown in the photo.
Holiday decoration for a little girl
For gentle summer or lush ball gown A hairband with a rosebud made of thin translucent fabric is ideal. For example, you can use chiffon. To work you will need scissors, thread, a needle and a candle. Cut squares of different sizes from fabric (from 3x3 to 6x6, for example). There are 5-7 pieces of each type at your discretion.
Now each of them needs to be carefully brought with tweezers to a burning candle so that its edges are slightly scorched and change shape. Do not forget about safety precautions when working with fire.
When all the parts are processed, assemble them onto a thread from largest to smallest. Sew a large bead or a beautiful button into the core. To finish, use ribbons in soft green shades to create an imitation of leaves. This rose looks very impressive and will perfectly complement your outfit.
In this way, you can make not only a children's elastic band or headband, but also a hairpin or even a brooch with a bud for an adult lady.
Original approach
Very interesting and original DIY rubber bands for girls - ears. They will require a base made in advance and a small piece of bright fabric. The material can be any, for example cotton. You will need to cut out 2 pieces from the fabric according to the pattern.
Since the pattern only shows half of the piece, the fabric needs to be folded in half along the fold line before cutting.
Sew both parts, right sides facing in, but not all the way, leaving a small hole in the middle. The product will need to be turned out through it and the ears will need to be stuffed if desired. a small amount padding polyester or other filler. Only after this should it also be sewn up.
Tighten the middle of the ears with a small strip of fabric or ribbon. Using it, sew the ears to the base.

Felt accessories
Another material that is great for creating cute homemade hair decorations is felt. You can use it to make bows, flowers, faces of various animals that will look original and unusual on any hairstyle. The felt does not crumble and holds its shape well, as it is very dense. This allows you to avoid processing the cut parts.
To make a flower, you need to draw 2-4 patterns in the shape of a flower of various sizes and cut them along the contour. And then sew them together in order from largest to smallest. Add a button, rhinestones or bead to the center.
You can make several flowers and attach them all to one elastic band. You can sew them around the perimeter or connect 3 flowers into a small bouquet and then attach them to the base.
To make animal elastic bands, use the most simple patterns. You can sew several pieces of felt to give the figure thickness, or connect 2 identical pieces and add a little filler inside. For example, you can make a cat. There is no need to make a tail; use only the main part of the pattern.
A set of beautiful and bright hair ties can serve as a wonderful gift or a pleasant bonus to a big gift for your good friend, sister, niece, daughter. Small child will be delighted with the bright product, and adults will appreciate your creativity and attentiveness.
