How to Use a Bundle O' Ties for Everyday Outfits

Quick answer

Use Thunderpants' Bundle O' Ties as hair ties, bag straps, garden ties, or craft accents. Their 90% cotton fabric breaks down over time, making them eco-friendly for both fashion and garden use.

How to style and use your Bundle O' Ties

1. Use as a hair tie or bracelet: Wrap a tie around a ponytail or wrist and knot it. The cotton fabric is gentle on hair and won't snag. Common mistake: pulling too tight can stretch the fabric; a simple double knot works best.
2. Attach as a bag or keychain accent: Loop a tie through a bag handle or key ring and tie it in a bow or knot. It adds a pop of colour and helps you spot your bag quickly. Common mistake: using a tie that is too short for a secure knot—choose one at least 30 cm long.
3. Use as a garden tie: Twist a tie around a plant stem and a stake, then knot it. The cotton will break down over time, so you don't need to remove it later. Common mistake: using it for heavy plants—these ties are best for lightweight stems like tomatoes or herbs.
4. Craft with leftover ties: Cut ties into smaller pieces and use them for gift wrapping, scrapbooking, or sewing projects. The fabric is soft enough to stitch through. Common mistake: trying to machine wash ties with prints may cause fraying—hand wash or spot clean instead. Store unused ties in a dry place to keep them clean and ready for reuse.
