As promised, here is the tutorial of sorts of how I made my headband stand! I just bought a candle holder, and already had a large empty can of Stephen's hot chocolate, paper and mod podge.
I just picked out some 12 X 12 paper that coordinated and cut two strips of the same paper and sizes because one strip wouldn't make it all the way around the can.
See?
I found that it was easier to glue (with mod podge) one end of the paper to the can by putting the glue on the paper at one end. Then once that was secure I painted pod podge directly on the can and smoothed the paper over it.
Once the paper was all glued on I covered all of it with mod podge and put some ribbon on it for a little extra decoration. Then I hot glued the bottom of the can to the top of the candle holder and viola!!
Tadaaaaah!!
And here it is doin' its job. Want to know the bonuses of this thing? A) it kinda opens/stretches out the headbands a bit and B) it has an open top to put other things (like scrunchies and elastic-y headbands) in. I am quite pleased with this. Also, If I get bored of the paper and overall look, it would be easy peasy to cover it with new paper or even spray paint the candle holder.
The End!
