Tonight I did something that I haven’t done in at least fifteen years – I made a hair wrap. A couple weeks ago I was at my friend Abby’s house and her daughter was making friendship bracelets and mentioned a friend had a hair wrap from the beach. I mentioned that I used to know how to make them and that I’d make one for her and tonight was the night.
I found a lot of embroidery floss from my friendship bracelet days and brought it over.
We parted her hair and selected a section on the upper side. I used a little clear rubber band at the top and then we used three colors and I cut strands that were about five times as long as her hair. I tied them on top and braided them through to the bottom.
And then I started from the bottom up making knots.
Halfway there.
And a little under two hours later (with a break for a delicious dinner of fish tacos – thanks Abby!) we were finished!
I’m pretty pleased with how it turned out. I didn’t want to over promise but it looks like I can still do it!
