Make this Headband Holder to hang on the wall in the nursery, a super pretty but functional way to organize all those adorable stretchy headbands and bows, because let’s face it…a little girl can never have enough hair bows and hair accessories! One for every outfit, am I right?!

Are you struggling to organize and keep all those bows for your little one together? I love some organization. Especially, if it makes life way easier, like these nursery closet dividers I made a while back to sort out baby clothes sizes (they make a great organizer if you’re looking for something for the closet). When I started accumulating all kind of headbands for our little girl, I wanted to make something to house them all. That’s how this headband organizer came about. A simple wall hanging sign storage solution that looks chic and farmhouse altogether. It makes for great nursery wall décor, too. I chose to hang mine right above her changing station since that is where I will be dressing her. Cute with convenience. This would also make a gorgeous baby shower gift for a friend or family member. Hang their first sets of bows on it and gift it to them. They would absolutely love it for their precious new addition. They won’t believe you made it! Keep reading and find out how to make this cute baby headbands holder with very little effort.

Baby Headband Holder Supplies:

Clip Rings (we went with these white ones)

Two dowel Rods (we used these 3/8 inch)

Wood Letters (I loved these ones we chose, wait to snag them when they go on sale for $1.99 like we did! You cannot beat the price for them being already finished and ready to go, no staining or painting needed.) (Letter B; Letter O; Letter W; Letter S)

Wood Sign (this beaded sign is gorgeous, and already finished for you-again snag it on sale during a 50 percent off sale, which they rotate bi-weekly).

Hot Glue Gun (Here’s the one I use, it’s seriously amazing & has a detailed tip, Here’s the glue sticks as well) Mine held up great with enough glue however if your headbands are on the extra heavy side or if you wish then you can try gorilla glue sticks for that extra hold.

Minwax Stain

Staining Pad

Miter Saw (click here to see the one we use for our projects)

The How-To:

DIY Baby Headband Holder Instructions

Step 1. Letter Placement

To get started with this baby headband holder diy, Lay out your letters on your wood sign how you want them placed. Push them all the way to the top edge and evenly space them out. We did the B and the S where they are all the way up and touching both the side and top of the sign.

Step 2. Glue on Letters

Put a small bead of glue outlining the back of each letter and put them back down in place. Press down firmly on them for about 10 seconds.

Tip; Be sure to overhang the picture hooks on the back over the edge of your table or counter (ours had one on the side and one on the top), this is so when you are applying pressure to your letters you have a flat surface otherwise you could accidently push the wood backing through.

Step 3. Dowel Rod Placement

Lay your dowel rods on the wood sign so that you’re first rod is three beads down from the bottom of the letters. Put your other dowel rod below that one, nine beads down from bottom of the letters. Now, mark your spot with a pen or marker so you don’t lose your spot for where they will go.

Step 4. Mark Your Cuts

Next, with a pen or marker, mark a spot on your dowel rod for the length of the sign. Make your cuts with a Miter Saw.

Step 5. Apply Stain

Go ahead and stain your dowel rods with a staining cloth (you could very well paint, or you even could leave them the unfinished wood color they are). If you go the staining route, you’ll want to wear gloves, so you don’t get it all over your hands.

Step 6. Adding Clips & Dowel Rods

Put fourteen ring clips on each dowel rod (or however many your prefer; our daughter has tons of bows!) and at this point center your dowel rods over the sign and put a large amount of glue between your marked beads. Be sure to put enough glue so that the dowel rods will get pushed into it with plenty of excess glue on the sides. Repeat this for both sides of both dowel rods. Make sure you allow of time for glue to harden and completely dry before adding any weight from the clips.
