Button Ponytails as Stocking Stuffers or Party Favors


I originally saw these in Family Fun magazine, and I just finished making a bunch for our Operation Christmas Child boxes. My girls LOVE them, and Pumpkin Doodle was more than happy to model one this morning. I think they'll be excited to find some in their stockings on Christmas morning since they know these are for the boxes.



The ones in Family Fun included a third larger button at the bottom, but the packs of buttons I had only included two sizes, and I think they still turned out cute! As is my theme, these are really easy.

Simply take your largest button and use a needle and thread to secure the button to the ponytail holder. Start above the button, so that your knot ends up between the two buttons when you're done. Then use a dot of hot glue to glue the second button on top, and – tada! – you've got a fru-fru ponytail holder!

These are really cute. Emily is turning 7 in less than a month. I may try to make these for her goody bags.
Did you know I started teaching K at COR again this year? It is crazy how it happened. I would love to chat again. Email me if you still have my address.
Thanks,
Cary
