Easy Pants Hair Tie Hack
Hi everyone! How are you?
Today, I've got a quick and easy pants hair tie hack to turn your pants into joggers.
Tools and materials:
- Pants or jeans
- 4 covered hair ties
It takes less than a minute to go from straight leg or boot cut pants like these to a cuffed jogger look.
If your pant legs are too long, it’s a practical way to keep them clean as well.
1. Hair ties
Grab a couple of covered hair ties that fit comfortably around your lower leg.
You don’t want them to be too tight and cut off your circulation!
2. Put them on
Wear the hair ties around your ankle. Slide one tie a couple of inches above your ankle bone.
3. Start the tuck
Pull your pants leg down and grab the top tie through your pants.
4. Keep on tucking
Fold the hem of your pants under the top tie.
5. Complete the tuck
Adjust the tucked pants leg so it’s even all the way around.
Stop here if you want or take it a stage further.
6. Make a cuff
For a cuffed look, slide the lower hair tie over the tucked edge of your pants.
Slide it about an inch up the pants leg and pull the bottom edge out.

Repeat on the other leg and you have a neatly cuffed pair of pants that look just like joggers.

I used to do this in1975 - when I worked in the Cotton Mills and I did not want my pants dragging the floor while I worked!!! Only I use strings from my supplies at work!!!
Therefore this is definitely nothing new for me!!!
People with circulation problems should avoid this. Elastic headbands can be used to customize for your ankle circumference.
