Fold Over Elastic for Hair Ties
Soft, stretchy fold over elastic with a built-in center crease for making comfortable, professional-looking hair ties that are easy to create and made to last.
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.
Smooth edges help reduce pulling, snagging, and breakage during everyday wear.
Designed to stretch comfortably and return to shape so finished hair ties keep performing.
The center crease makes it simple to fold, knot, sew, and create polished finished pieces.
Perfect for crafters, small businesses, fundraisers, handmade shops, and DIY gifts.
Cut the elastic to your desired length.
Use the center crease as a guide for a clean, even fold.
Tie or sew the ends together to form a loop.
Create comfortable hair ties ready for personal use, gifting, or resale.
Used by crafters, small businesses, and handmade brands looking for fold over elastic that feels better, works better, and looks more polished in the finished product.
Stock up on solid colors for everyday hair ties, school colors, seasonal collections, or shop-ready assortments.
