These are the retailing price for Twistband sold in our local Watson store
Why DIY?
One reason why I decided to DIY this is because I felt that it was too costly to purchase one at the retailing price and I wouldn't spend that kind of money even though I really want it so I decided to make some by myself at home at a cheaper price, all I need is the supplies. Why do I want a Twistband is because I am afraid that other elastic band would ruin my perm hair, on the other hand Twistband can add a twist to my outfit whether using it as a headband, hair ties or bracelet. What's more is you can't tell the difference between a real Twistband and a DIY one so why not do it my own. Below is a tutorial on how to create your own Twistband.
- 5/8 inch foldover elastic trim
- Scissors
- Ruler
- Candle (optional)
Step 1: Measure out 8 inches of foldover elastic trim and cut it out
Step 2(optional): Use the candle flame to cauterize the edge
The flame melts the nylon surrounding the elastic strip and ensure that the edge will not fray.
Step 3: Fold the elastic with the “shiny” side facing out, take the two ends and tie an overhand knot
To make sure the loop is tight pull and tug the elastic from the inside of the twistband.
