What every little princess needs

We have two little princesses and all the accessories that go with them.  My poor husband had some early delusions of keeping the pink down to a minimum. Hahaha. Well, I do at least two loads of purely pink laundry every week. So, as you might imagine there are a lot of bows, head bands etc. to match all that pink girlyness. This has been one of my favorite pins as it was successful, useful, easy and cute.

The headband holder

 

You only need a couple items for this little winner:

Duct tape (I used two colors)

A flat sheet of duct tape

Empty oatmeal container

Wooden candle stick holder with a wide top (this one was half price at hobby lobby ~$6)

Hot glue

Scissors

Decide on a pattern and how thick you might want your stripes to look.

Cut a square of the duck tape sheet big enough to cover the top of the oatmeal container.  (I just left the lid on.)  Stick it on top and try to smooth down the sides.

One at a time. Cut and place strips of your duck tape down the container.   Long enough to leave a little overlap.

 

You can see I overlapped my stripes.  Better a little lumpy than an oatmeal logo showing through.  I added the "fringe" on the bottom by folding a strip length wise.  I left about 1/2 inch sticky showing so that I could attach to the inside of the overhang.

 

Lastly glue on the candlestick holder.  I just eyeballed the center, but feel free let your inner perfectionist loose and measure it out first.

Here is the shining glory of my craftiness. You'll like it even better once you clear out that drawer full of head bands.

Someone suggested making one twice as tall, which might work if you had a candlestick holder with a sturdy and wider base.  Let me know if you try this one out.  I'm sure your little princesses will love a place to hang their crown.
