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.

DIY: Crayola Project

Yes. I finally joined the Crayola craze. There is so many styles to make your board in, but here is my choice: 

                                                                                 Supplies:

-Canvas 

-Crayola Crayons 

-Hot Glue

-Blow Dryer and a diffuser 

-Cardboard or a trash bag

-Scissors

-Image either vinyl or printed 

-Sharpie 

-Glue Stick 

Steps:

1. Decide on your style and design for your Crayola board. You can either take the wrapping paper off each crayon or keep it on. It's really bout personal preference. 

2. Hot Glue the crayons to the top of your board

3. Over cardboard or a trash bag, begin to melt the crayons with the blow dyer. [I recommend having something on the floor and wall behind as sometimes it does splatter] 

If you just want the melted crayons then your done! if you want to add something else to it then:

My finished result

4. Use a vinyl image or glue a printed picture to your canvas. For mine, I just printed an image off the internet and cut it out, glueing it to my board with a glue stick. I also cut out clouds from my scrap paper and coloured them in with sharpie for clouds to go with my rainy day picture. 

The Crayola Board is all about creativity and originality! It comes out different every time, so it makes a great project to do more than once. 

My sister's Board :)
