WHEN you think of a gift handed down through the generations, you might think of a piece of jewellery, or a beloved ornament. <\/p>\n

But one woman has left people stunned after revealing what she was gifted by her grandmother. <\/p>\n

Elizabeth took to Instagram to share a video, which showed a box of what appeared to be human hair, with a tag revealing it was from 1920. <\/p>\n

"This is my great-great grandmother's hair," Elizabeth wrote over the top of the Reel. <\/p>\n

"My Nana has had it her whole life.<\/p>\n

"She gave it to me last year."<\/p>\n

Holding it up to her own head, Elizabeth added: "It's the exact colour of mine!"<\/p>\n

And to make the hair into something that will be treasured for generations to come, Elizabeth has decided to turn it into a "hair wreath". <\/p>\n

"I'll use some of Nana's and Mum's and my own too," she said.<\/p>\n

"It will be a hair loom."<\/p>\n

"One of my most important keepsakes," she added in the caption. <\/p>\n

"Would you hang up something like this?"<\/p>\n

But people in the comments section weren't too sure about the wreath, with one writing: "Disembodied hair is so freaking creepy noooo."<\/p>\n

"Creepy as hell," another added. <\/p>\n

"Why tf do i keep getting creepy hair content?" a third wondered. <\/p>\n

"That's terrifying!" someone else insisted.<\/p>\n

"Kinda disturbing, to be honest," another commented. <\/p>\n

But others admitted they loved Elizabeth's idea of turning the hair into a wreath. <\/p>\n

"The hair wreath with 4 generations is so crazy and cool," one wrote. <\/p>\n

"That's so insane how it matches your own hair so perfectly," another commented.<\/p>\n

"I didn't even realise you were holding up those bundles to your head – I thought you were grabbing your own hair!"<\/p>\n

"Saving hair, making crafts out of it, giving it as a gift used to be common – particularly in the Victorian era," a third wrote. <\/p>\n

"This is so sweet," someone else praised. <\/p>\n

"I think your ancestors would be so happy you combined them. It seems fitting somehow. <\/p>\n

"Like a satisfying end to a beautiful story. But the next gen would also add to it too. <\/p>\n

"This is beautiful and made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside."<\/p>\n
