Headband Organizer

I had like 16 headbands just stuffed behind our mirror in the bathroom and it was starting to drive both me and my husband crazy! Every time you opened the mirror to get a toothbrush, lotion, comb, etc., a few headbands would fall out. So I decided to do something about it!

Materials:
~ Old silverware box (the one they come in from the store)
~ Scrap fabric
~ Hot Glue Gun

We had two sets of the same silverware and they were still each in their own boxes. I decided to combine them into one box and put the other into good use. So I took the top section where they'll kind of "showcase" what the silverware looks like and cut out some scrap fabric to go on top of it. I tacked down the fabric with my hot glue gun and it made a nice place for me to keep my headbands! Now they're neatly placed in my drawer, they don't fall out of the medicine cabinet, and there's cute fabric behind them! :) You can use any sort of box, just make sure it's shallow. If you get a deep box it will be more likely to become a new place of chaos. Shallow boxes are easier to keep organized. While doing this project I went through all my headbands and realized that I really only wear 5 or 6. So I threw the rest away! I love getting rid of things! It makes me so happy to get rid of clutter! Anyway, here are the pictures...
