Pin 81 FOE Knots for hairties or bracelets

Things have been totally hectic.  Wrestling season is in high gear and I can't seem to get all the kids healthy at the same time.  They have been taking turns being sick.  Crafting time has been hard to come by lately.   I needed to find a pin that would be simple, quick and return a product that could actually be used.  With 3 girls we go through a ton of  hair elastics.  It seems no matter how many I buy they end up missing when they are needed.   So this pin for FOE (Fold Over Elastic) Hair Ties seemed perfect. 


These couldn't be simpler......It's one of those projects where you pretty much get instant gratification.   The peeps over at ohsoprettythediaries have an easy to follow tutorial. 

What you need to get started:

FOE- You can order some from etsy or Micheal's carries some. 
Scissors
Lighter
Ruler

Unwrap your foe and measure out the amount you want.  A pretty standard measurement seems to be 8.25".  That did not work for us.  All my girls have thick hair, so we went with 9".  That was perfect,  it also allowed them to be worn on the wrist comfortably.

Once you cut your FOE I suggest sealing the ends.  Doing it now will prevent you from causing any fraying while you are tying your knot.

Next you just tie your knot.   You are basically going to tie it just like you would tie a balloon.

And your all done.

Unless you are making a huge amount for a craft fair.........

  3. Now you should know how to buy a digital camera that you can enjoy for
    years to come. Monty Alexander has written many articles
    on digital cameras - canon digital cameras, nikon digital cameras,
    Samsung digital camera etc. The portal has been packaged with all these lenses
    and is an effort towards making it a single stop shop for photographers looking for Nikon camera lenses.

  4. You see people passing time by checking on friends, catching up on texts or
    e-mail or playing a video game oblivious to what is happening around.
    Smartphone survey is an important app for Smartphone users that may keep them busy
    while giving some beneficial results. Navigation is the
    most important change brought about by smartphones.

  5. The Foundation is gathering one million signatures in a public education
    campaign, US Leadership for a Nuclear Weapons-Free World -- An
    Appeal to the Next President of the United States, was founded in
    2002. If you have friends who play vamp metal gear solid and he wanted to" fit in".
    The thing that places you right outside of your comfort zone in Penumbra is that there are also darker signals.

  6. Now you should know how to buy a digital camera that you can
    enjoy for years to come. A great side pan requires that the camera
    travel together with the subject in both X and Y-axis.
    It will come with a remote handle and a projection stand
    for your convenience.

  7. However, the spokesperson further clarified that the Galaxy S4 in the UK will be
    available with a 1. Because we're functioning off of absolutely nothing more than pure rumors and speculation, I might be looking at as well much into this and the i - Phone start has been and will carry on to be delayed for simple and extremely evident factors. It will show you a list of Active Applications and you can press End to shut them down individually or press End All to close everything.
