To make your own here is what you need!
Next I went to cover the container. However, I discovered the burlap was a bit sheer and I could still see the oatmeal design. So before covering I wrapped the container with brown construction paper.
Now I was ready! I cut the seam as straight as I could and glued it on calling the seam area the back of my project.
The top excess I shoved in the container and the lid fit snugly and securely on.
To finish the bottom I cut slits and glued them down individually as neatly and tightly as I could.
I added a piece of cardboard to the bottom for added stability and glued the pedestal on.
I found it to be a bit wobblier than I wanted so I wend around the base with the hot glue gun a couple of times trying to create more stability and security. It worked perfectly!
I added some more rope around the bottom and a piece of mustard burlap for decoration.
I later realized that doing this was kind of pointless since you can't really see it but hey, I already had it lying around.
My project was complete.
The finished project holds about 14 -15 headbands.
I definitely think I will be making another one of these in the next year or two.
I also love that the headbands are neatly displayed and easy to find.
No more rummaging through the drawers looking for a certain one.
Projects like this make the organizer in me smile and breathe a huge sigh of relief.
Have you organized anything lately?
