Little Bits
I made this headband holder for all the headbands I made for my granddaughter. All you need is a round oatmeal cylinder, some material, dowel, ribbons, paint, and a piece of wood for the base.
This project was so easy. I covered the oatmeal cylinder with material, leaving a couple of inches on each side. Reminds me of a tootsie roll. Tie one end with a ribbon. Keep the other end open, this is the side with the lid. Keep the lid off for now. Then figure how long you want the dowel, cut if needed. Paint the dowel and the base. Now, cut a small hole into the fabric and oatmeal cylinder. This will be for the dowel to go into. Insert the dowel. Now your going to hot glue all around the dowel inside the cylinder. Be sure the glue has dried before going on to the next step. When finished, put lid back on, and add a ribbon to that side. I cut out butterflies with a punch and glued onto the base and up he dowel.
BULLETIN BOARD
Mariah (11 years old) came over yesterday, she was on a mission. With a large canvas in hand, she asked if I would help her make a bulletin/chalkboard for her room. I’m still not driving, so we had to go with what I have on hand.
We started by painting half of the canvas with Rustoleum Chalkboard Paint. Be sure to stir really well.
We put on 3 coats. So I was looking through my ‘stuff’ and found some burlap with sparkles…so pretty.
Isn’t it pretty! So I started on one side…glued it down, and stretched tight to the other side and glued it down.
It looked pretty but, there was a small 1/2″ gap in the center. I was thinking cork across. The only cork I had was from these painted circles. So we cut a couple of strips and glued it to the middle.
Then we painted the yellow a more tan color to match the burlap. Then I had these empty ‘Crystal Light’ containers. Mariah cut them to size. She wanted one for pencils, and another for colored pencils, etc.
Then we took painters tape and made a diagonal shape. Then painted below the tape a white.
We removed the tape, and Mariah put some pretty sequins on them.
If you notice in the center of the cork there is a line….we covered it with a small pretty blue bright plastic flower On the right, we glued on magnets, so she can add this little container filled with pins. So what do you think?
Loving the dragonfly lamp!!

I am like totally making this headband holder with my littlest granddaughter who has about fifty million headbands, and I am constantly buying her more. One question: what is the purpose of the dowel inside it?

The dowel connects the base to the headband. you could use a piece of pvc pipe also.

I started making so many headbands for her, when she was in mommys tummy! I made so many, and thought this would be a way to present her with the headbands. She loves it!
