DIY: Headband Holder

Headbands are super cute! But sometimes hard to store.
For headbands that are firm, [not the stretch ones] a convenient/cost effective way of storing them is by using either fancy plant pots, nifty candle holders, or vases.

I found my candle holder for only a few dollars at Tj Max. Thrift stores are also great and Target has some trendy options as well. It's a great cheap way to organize your accessories :)





Using a holder of sorts is great for 2 main reasons:

1. Keeps the headbands shape; Your headbands don't get crushed in your drawers, especially if they have nice details on them

2. Easily visible! and you are more likely to use something when it is in plain sight.
