3 Tips To Make The Most Out of Your Little Girl’s Hair Accessories

If you are ever wondering what to do with your baby’s elastic headbands after they’ve outgrown them, then here are a few tips for you.

For headbands that no longer fit, you can easily convert them into clips.  We carry different colors of conversion clippies that are fully-lined, with non-slip foam grips and guaranteed gentle on babies and toddlers head.

For older children, you may use french barrettes, alligator clips with teeth or even transfer the headband to a plain plastic or metal headband such as these:

You can easily buy cheap, plain clips in department stores and simply cut the elastic as close as possible to the felt back.  Carefully attach it using a glue gun and you’ll be able to use those bows again as clips.

Now, for the residual elastic (the soft kind),  I suggest cutting it into your desired length, tying into a knot and heat-sealing the ends with either a lighter or candle.  Voila! You can still reuse it as a hair-tie!

I would also keep those residual elastics (skinny, soft elastics) for future arts & crafts or DIY projects such as making cute bracelets.  I’ve also sewn or glued elastics on my little girl’s ballet flats and baby shoes (those that doesn’t come with a strap) to keep them from falling off her feet.  These are a few recycling tips for all you mommies who hate throwing away still perfectly useful materials.
