DIY Headband Holder

Materials:

Cardboard cylinder container 10” tall and 5” across
Piece of fabric that can be cut to 12” long and 11” wide
Strip of fabric that can be cut into two circles that are a little less than 5 inches across.
Scissors
Ruler
Glue gun
4 extra large push pins

Directions:

Step 1. Make sure that the fabric is ironed and wrinkle free. Lay the fabric on the table.
Step 2. Lay the cylinder container on the fabric and make sure that your measurements are correct in that the fabric will cover the cylinder and fold inside on both ends 2 inches.

Step 3. Use the scissors to trim the fabric.
Step 4. Heat up the glue gun and cover the cylinder with the fabric. Put hot glue on the first 2 inches inside of the container. Fold and press the fabric down inside so that it is sealed.

Step 5. Cut two circles of fabric that will fit inside the lids of the container.

Step 6. Glue them into the lids.

Step 7. Apply glue to the inside edge of the push pins where the pin sticks out. Press them into the bottom of the container so that they act as legs to hold up the container.
