Otter Hairties

NCheyGirl21 · 05-17-2007, 10:15 PM

So how do you hold them on the braid? I have beadwork hairties I will attach to them where i'm going to put them on the braid but otherwise what else do you do? I just bought an otter strip from crazy crow so I am trying to figure out how to do it.

I was thinkin of buying some leather strips from hobby lobby then gettin matching beads and putting on the strips to hold them at the bottom. Would that work?

I was thinking of doing the same thing, my hair is so thin! The braids are tiny and yet I have these HUGE hair ties.... Wish I could find authentic otter up here.

How many ties do you have on your hairties? I ask because it may be abit easier to have acouple of them on each tie so all the weight is not on one set of ties, does that make any sence? if not let me know and Ill try again lol.

Two ties on the back of the hairtie. I wonder if I am going to get a headache from all of the beadwork, LOL My "personal beader" weighed the whole package, two pounds! On it's way from Nevada. I will let her do the honor of posting the pictures

My strips came from crazy crow too but I only ordered one then split it into 2 pieces. I have 2 hairties that have yellow fringe and I was plan on attaching them onto the bottom of my braid with the strips. Now at the end of the strips where there will be no beadwork I was thinking about takin the leather stuff then getting matching beads to put on the leather so its not so plain looking. Does that help any? lol.
