Bows, headbands, and clips: oh my! With so many fun options to put in your hair, it’s no wonder why you’d end up with a ton of hair accessories. Shoving all of your accessories into a drawer can leave you with an unorganized mess, and it might slow you down as you get ready in the morning. Fortunately, there are tons of cute ways to store your hair accessories so you can grab what you need right away.

Wrap headbands around an oatmeal container.

  1. This one’s a reusable DIY. Grab your empty oatmeal container and wrap a piece of fabric around the outside, then use hot glue to keep it in place. Set the container upright on your counter or dresser, then wrap your headbands around it for handy storage.[2]
    • Try matching the fabric you pick to the rest of your decor for a seamless look.
    • You can make a few of these if you have a lot of headbands to store.

Organize drawers with plastic containers.

  1. Your hair accessory drawer doesn’t have to look like the junk drawer. Add 3 to 6 clear plastic containers at the bottom of your drawer, then group your accessories by color, type, or size.[3]
    • This is a great way to save on storage space in a smaller bathroom.
    • If you can’t find clear containers, use colorful or sparkly ones instead.
    • If you have a lot of accessories, you might want to color code them or organize them by style.

Use up vertical space with stackable bins.

  1. Don’t let any space go to waste. Buy some plastic stackable bins, then arrange your accessories in a tall tower.[4]
    • You can put your tower of accessories inside of a cabinet to hide it, or leave it out in the open for easy access.
    • Look for stackable bins at most home goods stores or online.

Try a cake stand for an elegant solution.

  1. Who says decoration has to be plain? Find an elegant cake stand, then arrange your hair clips and bows in the center. Put the cake stand on your dresser for a cute centerpiece.[5]
    • You can also hang your earrings off the side of the cake stand.
    • Find a plain white cake stand for the easiest decoration, or go bold with a patterned one.

Glue clothespins to a wooden board for wall storage.

  1. This works well for a rustic-themed room. Place 5 to 10 clothespins on a wooden board, then use hot glue to attach them with the clips facing down. Mount your wooden board to the wall with screws, then use the clothespins to hold headbands and bows.[10]
    • If you want this decoration to look a little more modern, paint the clothespins white before you glue them on.
    • Clothespins are super gentle, so they’re great for holding soft headbands or bows.
