What type of fabric should I use?

You can use any type of fabric you like for this project. Just make sure that it is a sturdy fabric that will hold up well over time.

How do I attach the fabric to the container?

There are several ways you can attach the fabric to the container. You can use hot glue, fabric glue, or staples. Be sure to use a strong adhesive so the fabric will stay in place.

How do I make the holder stand on its own?

If you want to use this holder in an upright position and have too many headbands to hang, you can add a cardboard bottom to the container to add stability and make it stand on its own. Just cut a piece of cardboard to fit inside the container and using spray adhesive, adhere it to the bottom. Then use hot glue or fabric glue to attach the fabric to the cardboard.

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

How to make a headband holder?

• 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. If you want to you can cover those raw edges of the fabric inside with a strip of ribbon. This way your headband organizer will look pretty on the outside and the inside.

• 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. You can also opt for decorating the outside of your holder with embellishments such as buttons, felt appliques, small bows, pearl studs, gems etc

• Step 8. Fill the inside with hair clips, hair bows, hair elastics and other hair ties. Put the headbands on the outside.
