A can of oatmeal is the perfect size! Here are the steps I took. I apologize for not having pictures of each step, but this was SO simple, I know you can do it too!
1) empty out oats. ;)
2) Spray paint can lightly inside and out to increase durability.
3) I used two 12x12 scrapbook pages and Mod Podge to cover mine. (you wouldn't have to)
I just folded the paper over the bottom edges and glued it down to make the bottom smooth. It is not perfect since the seam of the can shows through, but you will never notice it because soon it will look like this:
And the best part? The can also makes a great storage spot for rubber bands, which I also had trouble keeping neat!

Thanks for the lovely comment on my blog. Just discovered yours and love it! Such beautiful photographs! Just had to comment on this project as I never would have thought to reuse my oats containers like that. I usually just throw them out, which is such a waste now that I see how beautiful they can become with a little effort.
What a GREAT idea!!! I LOVE it!! With two girls in the house we have hair stuff ALL OVER the house!!!
Well look at you!! That is such a great idea!!

Very cute!
What a great idea and way to reuse an item too!
Making headband holder out of recycled material is such a very nice idea. My niece loves to collect hair accessories and I'm having problem when it comes in keeping her collection. Thanks for sharing this tutorial. This headband holder would make my niece's collection more organized. Such a big help.
Great idea! I have headbands and ponytail holders scattered all over. Your idea might help me to straighten up my mess!
This is great! I have headbands for my daughter everywhere and I didn't know how to store them! I have an oatmeal container that is almost empty - I will definitely be making this! We also have some ribbons that I tie in her hair and the inside would be a great place to store those! THANK YOU FOR THIS TIP!
For the rubber bands storage in our house: I bought a bead storage container at the craft store and sorted the rubber bands by color into each section. This helps us when trying to coordinate colors with the outfits.
That is such a great idea!! My daughter's headbands are hanging on a towel rack in my bathroom and they are ALWAYS falling off!! Now I need to go get some oats!! :)
I love this idea! My daughters headbands are ALWAYS getting tangled up in a jumbled clump in the drawer.
Oh, now that is CUTE. AND, I love that it has a dual purpose. Genius. I may just have to try this.
GREAT idea!!! We have the exact same problems with head bands. Thanks for sharing!
OMGoersh! I think I am going to try to make 3 of these tomorrow...ok, well maybe 2 (only have 2 oat cans) ;) What a great idea! I love how it keeps the hair bands as well...perfect! Nicely done.
