So many headbands
Do you have little girls? I have three so far. One has long, curly, blonde hair and one has curly brown hair that goes a little past her shoulders. The other is only eight weeks old. All that hair must have “stuff”. We are up to our eyeballs in hair thingies. I need a way to corral all of it, starting with the headbands. So, I did what I always do when I need some inspiration. I went to Pinterest.
When there’s nowhere to store the headbands, they get left lying around, and people, like daddys, step on them. Hence my need
Have you any idea how many pins come up when you search for “headband storage”? Way too many. Actually, after perusing the long list, I’m fairly certain there’s only three or four distinct ideas that have pinned and repinned and ever so slightly altered. Out of the many or few ideas, one stood out — for being absolutely ridiculous.
So here it is: the jar.
Yeah.
Essentially it’s a glass jar that you’re supposed to hang the headbands on.
I decided I just had to try it.
I’m just not sure why someone needed to make a tutorial for sticking headbands in a jar.
It’s as easy and as pointless as it looks. Unless you want to leave a heavy or glass jar full of sparkly headbands within reach of little girl hands, you’re next best option is a Solo cup which doesn’t work quite as well.
See?
Oh well. Better pinning next time.

In response to prompt number 4 in this weeks edition of Mama Kat’s Pretty Much World Famous Writer’s Workshop. Head on over and check out the awesomeness.
I have four daughters and a granddaughter. Little girls hairl accessories will be forever all over your house. …No matter how hard you try to contain them to the bathroom. LOL
What about a jar the size of a head circumference to put the headbands around? Would that work? I also have little hair things all over my house, despite my lovely ribbon where they are supposed to be cutely clipped and organized. someday we’ll miss them when all the things migrate to a dorm room right?
I’m thinking I’ll try the roll of paper towels covered in pretty fabric, as it is squishy enough to not stretch out the headbands and big enough to hold a bunch of them. I want them out where I can see them so they actually get used, you know?
I will absolutely miss them when they are gone, but I’ve got several years before that happens.
How about setting them around a oatmeal canister? Would that be cooler? You could decorate it.
Super cool
but I think I like the squishiness of the paper towels.
That made me laugh!!!! This is usually what happens when I try something on Pinterest too!!!
I’ve had some success, but this idea was just silly.
