Headband display on a dime

 After creating so many Headbands

I needed a way to
contain them...

while surfing the net i came across this super cool idea

Its created from an oatmeal container and paper towel or toilet paper rolls!!

i started with my  oatmeal canister

but it wasn't wide enough

so i used some batting from my stash to thicken it

I covered it with some pretty fabric from my stash

i used my hot glue gun to attach it all together

i trimmed the sides and folded it over

 and hot glued it down

( i have yet to add a decoration to the end to hide the raw edges)

next i added the legs

i used cardboard rolls from tulle from the dollar store

they are thicker and stronger

i cut one in half and cut a piece of fabric to size

I made a hem with hot glue

I rolled it and glued it...

tucked in the ends

i used foam on the bottom

i then glued the legs to the canister.

when i stood it up it was a bit wobbly

i decided to make a base

i used some old coaster/ candle bases from the dollar store

i bought these a while back and ran them trough the dishwasher..

not a good ideas. the design washed off

( i still need to clean these the rest of the way and paint underneath)

The end result!!

i chose the glass so the base wont be damaged from water

( my daughter likes to play in the sink and spread water around)

( i still need to add a 'pretty' to the end)

I'm not completely satisfied with it, but I'm sure ill work on it a bit more...

works awesomely overall...

just not long enough to hold all of her headbands!!
