OK, so I have to give credit to my friend, Krystal for this idea. She tweeted with a picture of her crafty oatmeal container, covered with scrap paper, with her headbands around it. What a genius idea! I knew I had to steal it. :)
I didn't have an oatmeal container since I purchase them in bulk at BJ's for baking. I did, however, have a toilet paper holder, (no it's not gross, it's very cute!) that I got for free way back when. It's actually very cute, and you can still get it here with just the cost of shipping.
I totally forgot about using this instead until I went into the bathroom and it dawned on me. I don't know why I didn't think of it even though I already had my brushes inside. It was the perfect shape to put my headbands as well, and they all fit at just the right height.
Then I realized I had a bunch of other containers I could have used too. I always try to reuse something if I can instead of throwing it out!
I bought a few shower gels from Philosophy and it came in this nice container. I couldn't throw it out, so I repurposed it. I thought it looked nice without any sort of wrapping, so I left it as is.
other options:
You probably have something at home that works already! Re-use and re-purpose!

other options:
- empty oatmeal container
- empty coffee container
- old dvd spindle cover (remember those? I saw one in my home office and figured it would work too)
- utensil crock (the cheap ones from Ikea would be perfect!)
