DIY Hair Ties

These hair ties are super soft and stretchy, meaning they won't snag or leave a dent when you tie it up, and they're super easy and cheap to make - 1 metre of elastic (99p) will give you four 9-inch bands. I made a bunch of these in lovely pastel colours to give to friends as a little gift and I made a neutral set for myself.
