Equipment

  • 1 large oatmeal container, empty and the label removed
  • adhesive fabric tape
  • 5/8" ribbon
  • E6000 glue
  • Scissors
  • Pipe Cleaners
  • Decorative Butterflies
  • hot glue and hot glue gun
  • Pencil
  • Colored Card Stock
  • Rubbing Alcohol
  • Cotton ball
  • ruler
  • glass candle stick

Instructions

  • Step 1. Remove the lid from the container and set aside. Use ruler and pencil to mark the center of the container on the bottom.
  • Step 2. Cut a piece of fabric tape and wrap the oatmeal container in it. If any fabric tape hangs on the bottom of the container, simply cut slits about 1/2" apart and tuck the fabric tape under the container.
  • Step 3. Place the lid on a piece of card stock and trace it onto the paper. Cut out, just inside the line so the paper fits on top of the lid.
  • Step 4. Attach the paper to the lid with hot glue. Once you are finished hot gluing, place the lid on the container.
  • Step 5. Wrap pipe cleaners around a pencil to create a spring. Use hot glue to affix one end of the "spring" onto the butterfly.
  • Step 6. Repeat until there are three butterflies on three separate pipe cleaner springs.
  • Step 7. Attach the opposite end of the spring to the rim of the lid with hot glue. (Note: attach the "springs" onto the back of the container where the seam of the fabric tape is.)
  • Step 8. Wrap the rim of the container, covering the lid edge, with ribbon and tie into a bow. If necessary secure with hot glue.
  • Step 9. Wipe the top of the candlestick with a cotton ball coated in rubbing alcohol to remove oils and clean it. Let dry.
  • Step 10. Spread E6000 glue onto the top of the glass candle stick and gently press into the center of the container using the center mark as a guide. Set overnight to set up.
  • Step 11. When completely dry, add your favorite headbands to store them.
