While I was perusing Etsy the other day, I saw an adorable hair elastic holder bracelet. Since I’ve had long hair my whole life, I always carry a hair elastic on my wrist. Between daily jogs and working in labs, I always need to have my hair out of my face. I’ve almost gotten used to the slight circulation cut off that I get having the elastic around my wrist 24/7 but when I saw the elastic holder I realized there was a better way!
I have lots of jewelry supplies so I decided I could make a stylish elastic bracelet myself for basically free. Here is what I came up with and it is super easy and even fairly stylish!
Hair Elastic Bracelet
What you need:
- 2 hair elastics (the kind without a metal connector)
- rings or split rings
- 2 hooks
1. Weave the two elastics together by placing the two elastics one on top of the other with the fused seams opposite from each other. 
2. Reach up through the bottom loop to begin pulling the fused seam of the top elastic down through the bottom elastic. At the same time, reach down through the top loop to pull the fused seam of the bottom elastic through the top loop. 
3. Continue pulling until the elastics form a square knot.
4. Link the split rings/rings together to form a chain. I find the easiest way to do this with split rings is to open up the split ring using a piece of card stock then slide another ring on.
5. Once your chain is long enough, insert a hook on each side of the chain. Attach each hook to one end of an elastic.
Voila!
Whenever you need to use an elastic simply disconnect the hooks from the elastics and separate the elastics.
