DIY Anthropologie Multitude Hair Ties Tutorial from love u madly here. Top Photo: $12/5 Anthropologie Multitude Hair Ties here, Bottom Photo: DYI by love u madly. I’ve seen quite a few tutorials using “fold over elastic” for these hair bands, but liked this one by love u madly because she decided to see how many Anthropologie inspired elastic hair bands she could make for the same $12 it cost to buy 5. She made 80 - go to the link and see all the colors, glitter bands etc… (she links an online source to the elastic). The Gunny Sack also has a tutorial here.

This blog is for my crafting alter ego. I did lots of crafts with my very artistic mother growing up and continue doing them with kids now. I love really good kids' crafts that hold their attention and mine. When you have that combination you have a great project!
