Organized Chaos: Hair Accessory Organizer
All Brina’s headbands, flowers, decorative hair ornaments organized and in one spot
A few months ago I showed you our Easy DIY Headband Holder. As you can see from the pictures on this post we are still using it. It works very well for our girls. Since they wear more than just headbands I wanted to find a solution that would help organize all the pretty, fluffy, and decorative hair ornaments they have as well.
My qualifications for getting these items organized:
- Must assist in making these items more organized
- Able to be hung in a visible location and still look nice
- Easy to see, reach, and get access to the items when the kids need them
- Reasonably priced organizer because I will need 2 (one in each of the kids room)
- Something that we could hang near to the headbands (which were already hanging on the back of their closet doors).
It took me a little longer to find the perfect organizer for these items. Part of the reason it took longer is I wasn’t really sure what I wanted for the decorative hair accessories. I wasn’t in a rush so I just kept an eye out for ideas while in various stores. One day when I was going through CVS the clearance section happened to catch my eye. I paused for a moment and these little blue and black organizers were in the clearance section marked down to $1.* After looking at them and thinking about them I decided to pick them up and see if I could make them work for the kids hair accessories.
It was exactly the type of item I was looking for and at a great price! The organizer fit all the current hair accessories items I wanted to put in it plus had room for some extra ones too. When I am on top of things (which doesn’t always happen) I will put the kids seasonal hair accessories in the extra pockets on the organizer too (ie. Christmas, July 4th, Halloween, etc… hair accessories during that specific season).
The organizer hangs on the back of the closet door where the kids can easily reach it. It goes right under the Easy DIY Headband Holder so everything is available in one spot. The items are visible and easy to reach. It meets all my qualifications for getting the kids hair accessories organized. These have worked very well for our family!
*I tried to find these on the CVS website, but either they do not carry them online or they are not available. You can look in your local store or I am sure there are other stores that carry a similar item. This one on Amazon or something similar might work well too if you are looking for one.

Organized Chaos: Easy DIY Headband Holder
The headbands are now hung up in the girls closets so they can access them easily!
We have a lot of headbands in our house. There are two girls in our home who wear headbands, however, it was getting to frustrating trying to figure out the best way to store all the headbands. Just putting them into a storage box wasn’t working because it was a mess, headbands were getting broken, it is was impossible on a busy school morning to find a particular headband before rushing off to school.
I decided it was time to come up with a solution that would help keep the headbands organized. The idea started while I was putting away a swimming noodle…. Which happened to be a good size to hang a headband on so I decided to give it a try.
The pile of headbands that need to be organized
All you need is a thick noodle, hanger, headbands, and knife!
Cut the noodle to fit inside your hanger.
Slice one side of the noodle so you can slide it onto the hanger. The thicker the noodle the better.
Hang your headbands on the noodle and your done!
The headbands are ready to go into my daughters closet!
We have used this headband holder / organizer for several months now and it works awesome! Each girl has their own headband hanger on the back of their closet door so they can reach in and grab whatever headband they want to wear that day.
