This isn’t a craft blog and won’t be turning into one anytime soon, because I tend to not be a crafty person — however, today I felt that sheer brilliance entered my brain, and I must share it with you all. (you all who happen to wear headbands)
When I got home from running errands today, I took off my headband and put it where I usually do — on a tiny towel rack above the toilet — and it did what it usually does: promptly fell. Momentarily too frustrated to continue to do ANYTHING else, I grabbed some newspaper from our recycle bin and a glass jar, and made what I will call a headband carousel. It worked SWIMMINGLY so then to make it slightly prettier, I got some construction paper out and made it again, but better!
This was practically free; the jars were given to me by a friend for a Fund Drive of a food bank and the paper I have had around my house for years. Most of the DIY headband solutions I’ve seen involve sewing. This is a nearly free, no sew, easy, FAST solution.
So here, dear readers with a headband problem, is how I did it:
Step 1: get paper of your choice of color and tear into strips.
You could also use pretty rocks, marbles, or stones.
Step 2: Crinkle up the paper and stuff it into the jar.
Step 3: Gather all of your headbands and start fitting one end into the jar. The decorative piece, if it exists, should go on the outside of the jar.
Step 4: Behold!
Lastly, I put the jar on top of my dresser. I can now always gaze upon the pretty, big flowers and bows!
