Oatmeal Canister Headband Organizer

Save the earth while keeping your hair accessories organized in style.
----------

All you'll need to start getting organized:

• empty Quaker Oats canister, or similar
• scrapbook paper
• measuring tape
• paper trimmer or scissors
• paintbrush
• your trusty Mod Podge

Step 1:

First you'll need to take three measurements: (1) find a headband and be sure that it fits snugly around the container you've selected; (2) measure the height of your container; (3) measure the circumference of your container.

Step 2:

Cut your paper to size.  I used two different types of paper to create four panels on my container.  Since I measured my container's height to be 9" and its circumference to be 16", I cut four 9" x 4" rectangles.

Step 3:

Using a paintbrush, secure each panel of paper to the container with Mod Podge.  Be sure to work out any air bubbles with your fingers, working from the center out.

Step 4:

Cut a circle out of the paper you have left, and secure it to the lid using the paintbrush and Mod Podge.

Step 5:

Finally, apply a couple layers of Mod Podge over the entire project to seal it and give it some shine.  Pay special attention to the seams between pieces of paper to prevent peeling.  You might notice that the Mod Podge causes air bubbles to form; that's okay!  They'll disappear on their own when it dries, like magic.

When your project is completely dry, get organizing!  In addition to displaying your headbands on the outside of the organizer, you can store rubber bands, clips, and bobby pins on the inside.
