Built Specifically for Hair Ties

Not all elastic works well in hair. Some types pull, stretch out too quickly, or feel rough after repeated use. Fold over elastic is different.

Soft on Hair

Smooth edges help reduce pulling, snagging, and breakage during everyday wear.

Strong Stretch

Designed to stretch comfortably and return to shape so finished hair ties keep performing.

Easy to Work With

The center crease makes it simple to fold, knot, sew, and create polished finished pieces.

Great for Makers

Perfect for crafters, small businesses, fundraisers, handmade shops, and DIY gifts.

Simple to Use

1

Cut

Cut the elastic to your desired length.

2

Fold

3

Join

4

Wear or Sell

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this elastic damage hair?

Fold over elastic is a popular choice for hair ties because it is soft, flexible, and more comfortable than many standard elastic types.

Which width should I choose?

5/8" is a popular all-around choice for hair ties, while wider options can create a bolder look or work better for specialty styles.

How many hair ties can I make?

That depends on the finished length of each tie, but one spool can go a long way for personal projects, gifts, or resale batches.

Is this good for selling handmade hair ties?

Yes. It is a great option for crafters, market sellers, Etsy shops, boutiques, and school fundraising projects.
