This week I taught the girls how to decorate a normal hair tie. We also discussed that you could use ribbon or even material strips. For this class I decided we would use yarn, thinking it would be the easiest. I must admit that some of the younger girls were challeneged in tying the knots. Overall I was very happy with how they did and they were able to leave with something they can now wear and show off to their friends and family. Plus they have learned a skill in creativity.
This is the tie I made and used as an example. The girls picked various colors of yarn depending upon what colors they wanted. Here is dd's. (I hope to get more pictures next week, they really turned out beautiful!)
She chose Spring colors. As you can see it is not finished all around, but It can be hid under her hair. She was one of those challenged in tying the knots.
Here are a couple others that were done. The girls wore them the following week to class!
