DIY Headband Holders

My girls have a lot of hair accessories. Between the three of them, I bet we have about 200 hair items. I made bow boards for their bows with clips a few months back but that left me with a ton of headbands and elastics stuffed in a drawer. Not to mention the bundles of crotched baby headbands that Ballerina wears. Well I decided to make my husband's day and do something about it.

I took a Quaker oatmeal can and a Countrytime lemonade can and covered it with Mod Podge and some brightly colored scrapbook paper. I added coordinating ribbon to the top and bottom of the can for some added flare.

I made the yellow can for my mother. She has short hair but wears headbands often. For now she has her headbands overflowing in a wicker basket on her vanity. I think she'll love it.


I added a few of our headbands to get a good measure and have found out that I may need to make two more. Yes! We have that many headbands.

The inside of the can is perfect for Ballerina's crotched bands. I am loving this so much and it looks so adorable sitting on my vanity!!

T-Shirt Rose Headband

I've been going through my kids' old clothes. And boy, do they have a ton! I normally take the kids clothes to the local children's shelter because they could use all the help they can get. But occassionally they have items that have stains on them. (Mostly thanks to the school's Super Nachos day.)

So yesterday I decided to take one of Sugar's stained shirts and try something that I've been seeing popping up on many crafty mom blogs. Some t-shirt flowers. I admit that this isn't the best picture I've taken. But give me a break, it's not easy to take a picture with one hand while your other one is holding a fussy baby. :)

I managed to make my Sugar two separate headbands. She's currently at her dad's house for a few weeks so she hasn't seen them yet but I'm sure she'll be excited! I know I'm excited about them!!
