Do you and your kids have a million headbands and hair accessories like me and my daughters? If so, I have the perfect solution to storing those headbands, scrunchies, and hair ties. This inexpensive headband holder is perfect for containing your hair accessories while it also looks great on a dresser or shelf. While we were recently organizing my bathroom, keeping budget in mind, my organization guru Trish Johnson, owner of This Organized Chaos challenged me to create my own headband holders to help keep costs down. They turned out so great and I highly recommend trying this if you or your little ones need a storage solution for all of those hair accessories!
Materials:
- 42oz Oatmeal Container
- Acrylic Paint
- Optional fabric or paper to cover the outside- Vinyl, shelf liner, contact paper, fabric, tulle, or felt
- For the girls headband holder I painted and then used hot glue to glue glittery tulle to the outside.
- For my headband holder I used two sheets of vinyl I purchased at Michaels and then painted the lid black.
Directions Option 1
- Find a 42oz. oatmeal container- I sent a few texts to my girlfriends and ended up with 3 containers!
- Clean out the inside of the oatmeal container- I simply wiped with a wet paper towel.
- Paint the outside of the container with acrylic paint (we got ours at Michaels for $.69)- we did a few coats so that you could no longer see the label.
- Paint the lid. You could end here and have it be a solid color and that works perfectly!
- We took it a step further and added a sparkly tulle to the outside- we used hot glue to glue the tulle down and then wrapped the tulle around the outside- we then glued the end.
- Boom- you have a headband holder. Store your scrunchies, hair ties, bows, etc. in the middle part and your harder headbands on the outside.
Directions Option 2
- Follow the first 2 steps above but instead of painting just cover in vinyl, shelf liner, contact paper, fabric, tulle, or felt
- I used two sheets of vinyl and it worked great!
