FIRST TUTORIAL!!: headband holder

I am super excited to have actually made and published my first tutorial! So, for all of you who have the elastic headbands in abundance (like me :P)Get ready to have a nice, organized place to hold them!

(Note: You can feel free to paint this with cool designs! Also, I would advise buying colored clothes pins or using spray paint!)

First: Get a small piece of wood. I found this in my dad's scrap pile. It's about 1 foot long and not very thick. Sand it if you need too. Now get out your clothes pins (I used 10 ) And arrange them on your wood where you would like them:

Now slide your wood out and paint it the color you choose using acrylic paints:

Now paint one side of all of your clothes pins in desired color:

Flip them and paint every where else (Yes... It is a pain! Definitely spray paint if you can!):

Now line them up on your piece of wood:

Get out your glue (I used Tacky glue because I never get things on straight the first time, and this doesn't dry immediately, so I could wiggle them and make them straight. Wow, run-on sentance!!):

Pick up your first clothes pin and dot some glue right under it:

Put it back on top of the glue:

Use another plain clothes pin to clamp it down:

side view:

Continue all the way down (I worked in from both sides):

Let them dry (I was doing all of the before at night, so I just let it dry over night, but you can just let them dry until they are dry!):

Take the clips off:

You can't really tell in the pics, but I repainted the parts that the wood really showed through over:

I didn't like them matte, so I used this spray finish by DecoArt to make them shiny! I love this stuff, I also use it to seal my projects for outside:

Finished!!! Now just nail it to your wall and paint the nails!!:

Thanks for reading this! Hope you like it! Please comment if you like!!
