Supplies You Need

• Printable Valentine Cards – Get the printable hair tie Valentine cards in my shop here!
• White card stock – I prefer to use 65 lb card stock because it goes through my home printer.
• Hair Accessories – Like hair scrunchies, coil hair ties (like Invisibobbles), or traditional elastic hair ties. You can get cute scrunchies in a multi-pack at Dollar Tree to keep the costs low.
• Paper trimmer or scissors – I prefer cutting my Valentines out with a paper trimmer for clean and straight cuts.
• Tape – For attaching the hair ties to the cards. You can use regular tape or colorful washi tape for a fun pop of color.
• Colored pens for signing names

How to Make Hair Ties Valentines (Step-by-Step)

Step 1: Print the Valentine Cards – Print your hair tie Valentine cards on cardstock – NOT regular printer paper. I recommend 65 lb bright white cardstock, which goes through most home printers without jamming and is sturdy enough to hold the weight of hair accessories.

Step 2: Cut Out the Cards – Use a paper trimmer for fast, straight cuts, or use scissors if you don’t have a trimmer. Cut along the border lines of each card.

Step 3: Sign the Valentines Cards – Have your child fill in the “To” and “From” sections with a colorful pen or marker. This personal touch makes each Valentine special! Make sure to add the names before attaching the hair ties.

Step 4: Attach the Hair Ties – There are several ways to attach hair ties to your Valentine cards. You can simply secure with a small piece of tape on the front of the card. Or add a piece of Valentines-themed washi tape to hold the hair ties in place. For scrunchies, you can cut small triangles into the sides of the bottom of the card, and expand the scrunchy so that it fits around the card like this:

Different Hair Tie Options for Valentines

• Hair Scrunchies – Scrunchies are having a major comeback! They’re trendy with elementary and middle school girls and come in tons of colors and patterns. They’re gentle on hair and won’t cause creases or breakage.
• Coil Hair Ties (Invisibobble-Style) – These spiral phone-cord-style hair ties are super popular and work great for Valentines. They’re available in solid colors, glitter, and even metallic finishes. Pro: They don’t leave ponytail creases.
• Fold-Over Elastic Hair Ties – These are the soft, no-crease hair ties with a seam down the middle. They double as bracelets, which kids love! You can find these at craft stores or online.
