Completed My Headband Holder Project!!

After many trips to the store and a couple burnt fingers, my 2 headband holders are completed. I scoured Lowe's for the perfect rack and just couldn't decide on what style to go with. I reluctantly bought something that cost a bit more then I had anticipated, but when I left the store and headed to Joann's, I spotted Bed, Bath and Beyond right next door. For some reason, Bed, Bath and Beyond is one of those stores I just seem to forget about. Sure enough, I went in and immediately found what I was looking for and for $5.00 cheaper. That made the cost of the project much more reasonable. At Joann's I opted for a cupcake pattern, because my daughter is just batty for anything cupcake.


The hardest part of the project was deciding just how big to make the center piece. To small and the headbands would turn, to big and the headbands would stretched to far. I finally opted for a partial used roll of paper towels and a double layer of batting. After the fact, I'm really thinking that the batting could be skipped all together. If the roll of paper towels was used, with the fabric alone, I think the size would be almost perfect. It would also reduce the cost even more.


After my crafty work was done, my husband was speedy and hung them up right away. Don't forget to use a leveler!





Once my daughter hung up some of her headbands, I got the ultimate "Wow, mom...I've got to give you kuddos on this one. It's a pretty cool idea!!"


Within 30 minutes, I'd already been assigned a new project. Ms. Ciara has asked for something to clip her bow barrettes on. That should be simple enough!
