You know that song “Little Girls” that Miss Hannigan sings in the musical ‘Annie’? Sometimes I find myself humming that song. Having 3 girls, our house is covered in little girl things. I step on a hair clippy at least 10 times a week. Moms of boys think Legos hurt?! I stepped on my share of legos when I was younger. Legos got nothin’ on those little claw-shaped hair clips. OUCH! Along with those hair clips, we have about 10 bajillion hair bows and headbands. The tiny drawer in the bathroom can’t hold them all. Headbands were breaking and bows were getting smashed. I know a hair bow board will solve the smashed hair bow problem. I’m going to take care of that soon. I needed to figure out how to get all those headbands in one place.
This is the answer:
An oatmeal canister is the perfect size to put headbands around!
I trimmed two pieces of scrapbook paper to fit around the can and hot glued them.
Then, I hot glued a ribbon down each side where the paper overlapped so no edges were showing.
Last, I glued a cardboard circle that is about an inch wider than the base of the canister to the bottom.
Middle A insists on wearing a headband every single day, so it’s great having them all right there where she can choose which one she wants. It’s also handy for teaching her to put them where they belong. She is doing a great job keeping up with her headbands since they’re all displayed on her dresser now.
Here are Middle A’s headbands on her headband holder:
