Spring flowers are starting to bloom and I am in the mood to make some “girlie garnish”! (aka Ponytail Holders) So, today’s craft is sweet and simple.
This project is for all levels.
Skill Level- 1 Button
Materials:
- hair elastic
- felt
- pom pom
Tools:
Basic Instructions:
- Cut your felt into a circle with a 2 1/4″ circumference. (You can see, I cut a few!)
- Fold circle in half and stitch down the center. Be sure to back stitch at start and stop.
- To attach your pony: fold pony in half and place about 3/16″ from the folded edge. Machine stitch in place. Go back and forth a few times to secure in place. Tip- Keep the pony tight together.
- This step is optional. If you have pinking sheers and would like a detailed edge, now is the time to cut around the outside of circle.
- Trim the short edge of pony.
- Fold circle into quarters and trim the point off the center. Open back up; slip pony through the hole.
- Turn up the felt and over towards other side. This will clean finish the raw edge of pony and hide all of your stitches.
- Shape flower center with your fingers; add a dab of clear drying glue to the center and drop in pom pom. Let dry and you are all set.
These pretty ponytail holders are the perfect way to add a little be of girlie garnish to your day!

Like the craft but don’t have time to create them? No worries, I made a few extra and added them to the shop. **Update- sorry, the hair ponies are all sold out.
