Fabric Headband Holder

I've recently posted blogs on how to make French Memo Boards and Hanging Jewelry Boards, both of which I made with leftover fabric from twingirl's bed quilt. Another thing in her room that we have trouble corraling is headbands. She has a ton of them, and we usually store them in a basket. But that's starting to overflow, and the end result is that we can rarely find the color she needs on the rare days when she actually wants to wear a headband.

For this project you will need:

Piece of fabric approx. 20 x 16 inches
Freestanding vertical paper towel holders (you can find these at the dollar store).
Standard size roll of paper towels
Glue gun
Iron


Press your fabric. Wrong side up, fold up a piece of the shorter end about an inch and press so you have a nice straight edge.
Starting from the other side, run a strip of glue along wrong side odge of fabric, along the shorter end, about a half inch in from the edge.
Place the paper towel roll evenly along this strip of glue; press and hold for one minute.
Now start rolling the paper towels down towards the other end of the fabric. Place another strip of glue on the other end, and keep rolling until the fabric is wrapped all the way around the roll.  Press paper towels down against glue for one minute.
Let glue dry for about ten minutes.
Place some glue on the edges of the fabric that are not sticking out from either end of the roll of paper towels and then tuck these edges into the hole of the paper towel roll. Press the fabric against the roll so the glue makes contact, and hold in place for about one minute.
Once this glue has dried, place roll onto paper towel holder.

See? Super easy!
