Headband holder tutorial

I love headbands.
There is nothing better to hide my boring brown roots, tame my shouldn't-have-cut-them bangs, or make a messy ponytail look a bit more polished.

Halley loves them too and is trying her best to graduate from bows to headbands full time.  (Although I am fighting her every step of the way.)

I am also fighting the messy jumble of the headband basket.

So why not recycle and organize all at once?
You just need 
an oatmeal tub,
two pieces of 12 x 12 paper.
Mod Podge,
a foam brush.

In just a few minutes you can go from this...



To this....


Just peel off the label from the oatmeal container, slather on the Mod Podge, stick on the scrapbook paper, let dry...

add headbands.
No more messy jumble!
(The inside is great for storage too.)
Mod Podge away.

    Cute idea!! I was at Target yesterday and thought of you. In the $2.50 section they had bamboo handled purses-only the purses weren't all that pretty, but I was thinking that $2.50 would be a great price for the handle itself. They are the darker ones like you have.

    What a beautiful and easy project to make with endless possibilities for use. I WISH my daughter would wear headbands just to be able to use this as a headband holder. I love the paper you chose. This will be added to my "fun things to make" list. Thanks for sharing!

    You are a genius!

    And I have shouldn't-have-cut-them-bangs too. That was a very unfortunate September day...

    I love the fabric ones that you did. Are you using a different type of mod pod with the fabric than the one here with the paper? I'm new to this. Thank you for your help.

    You're brilliant. So simple, yet genious. I was looking online for a headband holder and couldn't find a decent one for less than around $20. Thanks so much for the idea!

    I know it's been said before, but this is perfect, great, cute. I love it. My daughter asked for something to hold all of her headbands, and if not only does that, but let's us make it together. :) Thanks.
