Tie tank top straps with with hair bands to keep them from sliding

In: 1-3 Years, 3-5 Years

It's approaching 100 degrees in Portland today (!), so Beckie's summer clothing tip comes at the perfect time for me and mine:

I found a way to hack my daughter's tank tops. The spaghetti straps on her tops were always slipping down. So I found if you take some smaller hair bands, and tie off part of the straps, they magically stay up!

Great idea, although, if the straps are long enough, I usually tie a little knot on the top of the shoulders. It's cute and you don't have to use a rubberband or anything...

Or you can use a fun ribbon and tie the straps together in the back - also works for bathing suits!

In a pinch you can also use those twist ties you get at the market. Those are so useful for so many hacks - and Free!
