Headband Holder

I've been trying to organize things around the house and couldn't figure out what to do with the big pile of headbands spilling over the bathroom counters. I finally found this tutorial for a clever headband holder made out of an old can of oatmeal. So guess whose whole family had oatmeal for breakfast this morning. After clearing it out, I picked out some cute paper to wrap it.

 Forgive the sloppiness. In all my unpacking, I have yet to find my most important crafting supplies -- proper adhesive. But since I was impatient to make this, I went ahead and did it with packing tape (the only other alternative was duct tape, and that just wasn't the look I was going for). I figured it would mostly be covered with headbands anyway, and it's not like anybody will ever see it (except Jeffrey who would never notice something like tape anyway). I had just enough of that pink grosgrain ribbon to go around the bottom and the edge of the lid (I also cut out a circle of the solid pink paper to cover the top of the lid).

And in about half an hour, I had my brand new headband holder! I only put my most used headbands on (I would have put more if there was room!) and the rest of them I packed nicely into an old shoebox that tucks away at the back of a shelf in the bathroom. I hate wasted space, so I also put my clips, hair jewels, and hair sticks inside the container. And now it all fits on a shelf and is easily accessible!
