today on hello scarlett, i am going to show you how to make the world’s easiest hair accessory. literally. there will be no gluing, stitching, or assembling.

this is what you will need:

– material of your choice

– scissors

cut your hair tie to the length of your arm. i doubled mine since i wrap it twice around (in an attempt to quell my curls).

then tie,

and enjoy!

i first started doing wearing this look a few weeks ago when my hair became long enough to put behind my ears, but still so short that i couldn’t keep it back in an elastic. lately, i’ve also been wearing it in its natural curly state hoping that it will grow faster.

the first time that i did this diy, i made my hair tie out of twine. it blended so well with my hair that everyone thought that i had somehow tied strands into two bows. to make sure that you could see this tutorial, i chose bright pink. truman also insisted on being in these photos (but we were moving too quickly and they came out as a blur). he’s such a camera hog. ;-)

have a beautiful weekend, friends.
