Button Ponytail Holders

These ponytail holders are super simple to make and can be a great gift.

Suggestion: Select pretty buttons with large shanks on the back. Shanks are the loops or hooks on the backside of certain buttons.

Supplies Needed: Dental floss-waxed works beat, ponytail holders from any store, buttons with shanks on the back

Directions:

1: Cut a strip of dental floss about 6″ long.

2. Put the floss thru the ponytail holder & then gather the two ends together. Next, thread the floss & ponytail holder thru the shank on the backside of a button.

3. Pull the ponytail holder thru the hole enough so that you can pull the other end thru your now new ponytail holder loop.

4. Release the dental floss from the loop, pull the ponytail holder tight & voila, you have a ponytail holder.

About Ruby Mae Jewelry

I'm Leah Williams and I adore fabulous buttons and brooches , chains and charms. I find it exciting to look into old tin cans passed down through the generations. They hold buttons and hardware removed from all types of garments. I reuse old buttons and it connects me to men and women that I'll never get to meet. I'm a "no harm button artist" and as such I don't alter, cut, flatten or change intact vintage buttons. I also leave the original thread on a button. I'm inspired to create something new from something that was forgotten. I love, love, love it.
