Done in a Flash DIY: Infinity Bracelet

By Whitehaus @wecanredoit
You know, I originally had one more chilly weather project ready to go, but I'm so over this cold I've decided that the time has come to just ignore it and hope it goes away. 

So on to more fun things! Like making some colorful new bracelets to stack up my (soon to be in short sleeves) arms. This one is so easy - takes less than 5 minutes easy - and utilizes hair elastics. Working with used elastics is just fine, but remove any lingering strands of hair or this can quickly go from so pretty, to pretty nasty :P

-2 hair elastics

Step 1: Place the two elastic bands so that they are layered, with the adjoining seam on each facing out.
