DIY Leather Pigtail Holders

In this instructable, I will show you how to make beautiful leather pigtail holders (aka ponytail corsets)! It is really easy and only takes less then a half hour to make!

You will need:

- A piece of leather ( must be at least 6 by 7 inches)

- A leather punch tool

- Some leather suede string ( I am using 48 inches)

-heavy duty scissors

-pen (optional)

-ruler (optional)

In this case, I cut two leather pieces 3 by 3 1/2 inches long. But, if your hair is really thick you will want to make a longer strip to wrap around your hair and vice versa. Also, you can make the width longer if you have longer hair.

Punch parallel holes along the short sides of your leather pieces. In this case, I am using four holes. If your have longer hair, you may want to punch more. The holes should be big enough to fit your string through.

Cut your 48 inch string into two pieces. Crisscross lace the strings through the holes, just like shoe-laces! You are almost finished.

Loosen up the lacing and slip them over your already tied pigtails. Tighten and tie off in a bow. You are finished!
