Hair Accessory Organization

Quite awhile ago, I found a jewelry organizer for all Kara's hair ribbons, barrettes, rubber bands etc. It's worked GREAT!But the "hair" drawer was still cluttered with headbands and more. (Sorry for the blurry picture....I can't retake it because now the drawer is organized!)
Then I came across (not on Pinterest) a great headband organizer. I changed it up a bit and it seems to be a good solution.

I started with an empty oatmeal canister.I tried to use the scrapbook paper that the original blogger suggested...but it was way too small. And I only had one piece.
So I covered it with wrapping paper. Now I can even use inside the canister for storage. Works for me! Now look at the drawer. (The empty baby food container is for those teeny tiny plastic rubber bands that work so well in our thin hair! And the scissors are for cutting out said rubber bands.)

And maybe the organization will help us from using the headbands elsewhere...like on little brother :)

Happy Thanksgiving 2011

WFMW-Kid's crafts

Here's are latest Christmas craft. I'm looking for some more ideas, so comment if you have any good preschool crafts.

We made this wreath by first cutting a hole in the middle of a paper plate (no picture, sorry)

Then we (as in I) cut green tissue paper (and some red) into squares.

We wrapped the paper around our fingers (or a pencil), dipped it in some glue and applied it to the paper plate wreath.

It was a fun project. Please share your Christmas crafts or links to good sites. Thanks.

We used another fun idea from MOMSense magazine published by MOPS last week.
We bought different colors of KoolAid packets and added 2 to 3 tablespoons of warm water. Voila! Scratch and sniff paint.

WARNING: It stains very easily, on skin too. But the result was beautiful!

This one is entitled "Away in The Manger." See the stars?
