I saw these adorable hair ties while doing my weekly anthropologie browsing & decided it was time to make some of my own!

I have seen these snag free hair ties all over Etsy, and even received 2 in my love club box.  I am very much an "I can do that" kind of gal so I gave it a try!

Besides the fact that these hair ties are super cute & useful, I love that the supply list is very minimal. All you need is some pretty elastic, scissors and your 2 hands! Easy, cheap & FUN! 

I snagged my elastic from Pick Your Plum when they had it really cheap! Well, I thought it was cheap, but I don't buy much elastic, so I could have been ripped off.  I kid. I kid.

I definitely want to get some glitter elastic next time & make some sparkly hair ties!

I cut my strips of elastic about 10" to give me enough room to tie the knots without stretching the elastic too much. If they ended up being too long, I snipped the end after I tied the knot.  

1. Take your cut elastic and match the 2 ends together.
2. Wrap them around your finger.
3. Tuck them in to make a knot.
4. Pull your knot tight! 

I have a thing for lace, so I love that these hair ties have a lacy look! So girly & fun! 
The best part is that they are better for your hair than regular hair ties.  They do not pull and snag my hair at all! So when I take them out, strands of hair don't come with them...MAGIC!

Look how cute they look around your wrist! BONUS!

The Icing on the Cake & Anthropologie Knows About Me?!

I shared a teaser photo on my facebook page the other day & I decided to end the suffering and show you my NEW PRODUCT that will hit the shop when I open back up on August 27th! 

CUSTOM bunting style Cake Toppers!

I LOVE the way they turned out! 

And what's really cool? They don't just have to be for weddings. They can be customized for Birthdays, Anniversaries, Holidays, whatever you want! 

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

That's my 'Grill Master' Fork...on Anthropologie's Tumbler (!!@!!#@!#!@!)

An OH.MY.GOOD-NESS. Moment happened this weekend. The kind that makes you jump up and down and text everyone you know with the CU-RAZY amazing news...I was featured on Anthropologie's Tumbler & I about peed my pants...

I know we are not BFFs or anything, but Anthropologie visited my shop...they liked something in it...they included it on their Tumblr. 

That makes me smile! :)
