We try to limit our Costco/Sam Club trips to only when we host large parties but, the other day must have been a slip-up. I came home to see this enormous jar of butter in our refrigerator. Like, I'm not kidding, even Paula Deen would be ashamed. My dad has been sarcastically refusing to use it in his own home because it's too big. It's become a big joke but actually, nobody wants to use it. ITS FIVE POUNDS!!!
After a few days of pranks and getting seriously fed up with its size, the million dollar idea struck! It makes me sound like I'm seven years old but, I own way too many headbands, clips, pins, etc., etc., and everyday is a constant struggle to store them. I just can't figure out a good system. I have so many and I want them all in the same place. I don't like them in buckets because the large ones take over, the clips fall to the bottom and if I can't see them, I won't wear them. I was using a very plain ice cube holder (WTF??) but it quickly ends up always looking a little something like this:

There are a lot of really great things about this craft. For one, it is super easy and requires almost no supplies (at the very least only the jar, the craft paper, tape or glue, scissors and cute ribbon). Second, it looks fine out in the open but can also be stored underneath/inside cabinets. Third, THE LID! The jar is so incredibly big you can fill the inside with enough hair binders, bobby pins, clips and ties to supply an entire senior prom with up-dos. It's literally perfect and there is a ton of room for creativity!
All you have to do is line the outside of the jar with the paper of your choice and tape it down. I also tied a thin ribbon at the bottom of the jar and on the outside of the lid as well. And, WAH-LA! Your perfect headband rack! What do you think?! How do y'all store hair accessories?




Love this craft! I just had the same dilemma with my hair accessories being in a basket. It just doesnt work. Thanks for the tutorial. So cute :)
