A Place to Hang Your Hairbands

After literal years of being annoyed by my hairbands falling on the ground from the shelf they were sitting on, today I remembered I own a laser.

Less than 10 minutes later…

practical cuts FTW!

If you want to make this, you’ll want to adjust the size of the smaller swoop to be just smaller (in my case 1mm) than the diameter of the pole you intend to hang this on.



The rubber band is a tiny one for braids. If you don’t have that, it’s likely not necessary. I also imagine one for braces would work exactly the same way.

Also I imagine this wouldn’t work at all on hardwood - too many stress points. This is thick acrylic, medium would likely work too.

That’s great, thanks for the share! My brain isn’t functioning yet this morning apparently. If the smaller hole that goes over the rod is smaller diameter than the rod, how does it fit? I love the rubber band idea for keeping it secure on the rod. :slight_smile:

Acrylic has a tiny amount of flex, so by making it 1mm smaller it won’t fall back off the rod, but you can take it off if needed.
