ladyspriteSo at Arisia this past weekend, I met a very nice lady who was selling beautiful ponytail falls. They were colorful and textural and just plain awesome, and I couldn't help but keep coming back to poke at them and ogle them and generally sigh over them. They also looked like they would be alarmingly easy to make.
I could do that, I thought. In fact, I bet the hardest part would be untangling my ridiculous stash of spare yarn....
And, because the lady with the hairfalls was very nice, she eventually took pity on me and showed me how she made them. And it was, as I had suspected, alarmingly easy.
This, of course, meant that I spent most of this afternoon sorting my yarn stash by color, boggling in embarrassment at the sheer quantity of muppet-ish novelty yarns I own, and cutting them into pieces and stringing them on elastic bands.
...ending up with this:
Not bad, for a first try. Though the hardest part was, in fact, trying to squeeze my real hair into buns tiny enough to be hidden by a bunch of yarn, and I'll need to get better headbands to hide the rest of my hair.
All I need to do now is resist the urge to make more. And more....
