| So I decided to make something and this is what came out of it:
This is super easy to make with junk you have around the house.
You need:
- Toilet rolls
- Old yarn/wool
- Bows/decoration
- Sticky tape
-First gather your materials!
-Cut the toilet rolls into sections that are around 5cm long. Cut as many sections as you have scarves (or maybe a few more so you can add to your collection later!)
-Sticky tape them together into a grid pattern.
-Get your yarn ready. I used some old scratchy pink and white acrylic yarn.
-Start wrapping around the rolls you stuck together. Keep wrapping until it’s all completely covered. Pay special attention to the places where the rolls join together so they are strong.
-After it’s completely covered add a strap out of plaited yarn to the top.
-And then hot glue/sew bows on if you want more decoration ^_^
Now you can add your scarves in. Loop the scarves through the holes so the ends stick out the back. Choose your favorite scarves for the bottom holes so their ends hang down. You can hang it in your bathroom or where ever you like!
Now on to the hair accessories ^_^
I have a lot of hair accessories. A lot. If they don’t have somewhere to live, they end up getting very messy and broken!
So I made myself a cute place to store them, I like it because it looks like a gigantic shopping bag :D
So to make one you need the following:
- Fabric in whatever size you want
- Knitting needle or something to make the top rigid
- Plastic handle
- Lace
- Glue gun
- Needle and thread
- Bows/decoration
-Gather your materials
-Cut out the fabric to the size you want.
-Hem the two sides and the bottom either with hot glue or sew it. You can see in the above photo how uneven my hems are because the fabric is slightly see through XD
-Hem the top in the same way but put the knitting needle in the fold of the fabric. This is going to make it nice and strong and give it structure rather than just being a floppy piece of fabric.
-Sew or glue on lace to the bottom and top of the fabric.
-Sew the plastic handle to the top, you should stitch it so it’s actually attached to the knitting needle. This way it won’t put stress on the fabric.
-Glue some bows to cover the stitches.
-Add accessories and hang it up!
I like to put all my accessories that are on bobby pins along the sides and the ones with pins/brooch backs in the middle :D
So there you have it, I hope that all makes sense! It’s harder to write tutorials without pictures so if you have any questions just let me know!
If I ever make more of these I’ll make sure to take photos along the way ^_^
*Edit* Shmuberry made her own version of the scarf holder in the shape of a heart!! Go have a look at her post here, it’s so cute!!*/Edit*
So how do you all store hair accessories?

Only you could make something sweet out of toilet rolls – go you!! Hope James’ pc survives its labotomy :)
Mwahaha nothing, not even toilet rolls are safe from my crafting hands! James’ computer is still mid-lobotomy drama, very annoying but very necessary!
Ooooooooooooo Violet you always make organizing so fun and pretty!
All my hair clips and bows sit in a big stack or bag so I can’t wait to make me one of those ^____^
Yay for being organised in a cute way! Seriously, this is a great way to display everything too because you don’t have to dig through them all to find one… and your wall looks nice and pretty :D
Wow that’s a really good idea to store pins and hair accessories. Maybe I will try it too. Let’s see. ^^ ’cause my hair accessories are all in a box and so I must search and search to find something. That’s really stupid. ^^
I know what you mean Tsukiko about having to search. When I had my accessories in a drawer I always forgot what was in there too >_< Let me know if you try it out :D
Always coming up with fantastic ideas. I love the one for the scarves – mine are all in a draw.
Mine were in a draw too but it’s so annoying to dig through >_< I always used to forget the ones on the bottom that were hidden under the others!
looking cute ^^ i love ur ideas!
Thanks so much Naka, glad you enjoyed!
You are really creative, as one person already said you make organizing fun and so cute! Love your ides! Thanks for posting them all!
Aww no worries! I’m so glad that so many people enjoy posts like this, it makes me so excited to move to my new house and actually be able to make even more cute storage solutions ^_^ Thank you so much for reading!
I LOVE the scarve holder! I just bought 2 scarves today and I was wondering how I could store the ’cause they were all just hanging on a hook at my dorm. So thanks for that! Can’t wait to make it! (if school give me some free time I will soon!)
I have another type of hairaccessories holder (should make a tutorial on that one too) your’s cute!! ^^
I love scarves to death! I can’t wait to see if you make this one :D Thank you and good luck with school!
yay! i’ve been looking for something for all my hair stuffs! I’ve tried bags & boxes but I can never find the right accessory without searching through a sea of random!
Hurrah for Violet!

I know exactly what you mean Ilse, before this I used a drawer and it was so hard to find anything! Let me know if you make it! <3
awww!! you’re always SUPER creative! i love it!
:D Thank you!
Awww~that’s so cute! :)) Thnx for sharin’ cutie! I think i’ll be making a scarf hangign thingie for myself! <3 Huggles*
Cool! If you ever make one I’d love to see pictures :D
Ow this a nice idea, I do need to organize my scarfs!
I have pinned…(pint? pined) all me hair clips on long ribbons so when I put them into the cupboard, the wont mess up that much..you could also hang ribbons on your wall and pin the things on..:D
Oh that sounds like a cute idea too :D Thanks for sharing!
Oh, this is the sort of thing I’m looking for right now! My daughter and I keep getting our hair accessories stolen by the cat, and stashed under my son’s bed! So I was trying to work out a way to put them up high and out of his way. Plus it saves time finding the buggers.
How are the bows in the middle of the fabric staying on? Are they pins/brooches? Don’t mind me, I’m not fully with it this time of morning!
Hahaha a kitty stealing hair clips sounds so adorable!! Yep you’re right, the ones in the middle are pin/brooches, you can also get a bit fancy and cut strips into the middle and clip in even more normal hair clips… it that makes any sense LOL I am definitely not functioning well in the morning without tea!
