Simple & Stylish Way to Organize Hair Accessories

Moms of little girls, raise your hands if you are constantly finding elastics, bobby pins, hair clips, and other tiny hair paraphernalia everywhere! 

Goodness gracious, I always knew that a little girl would be more high maintenance than having a little boy, but nothing could have prepared me for the sheer volume of hair accessories that little girls have.  (Although you would think that I would know since I am a girl.)

Olivia has been sporting hair accessories since the day she was born, and in the beginning it was pretty simple – she either wore an elastic headband or a bow.  Easy peasy.  To keep those in check I made this organizer to wrangle all of them, and that was sufficient for the first couple of years of her life. 

However, as her hair grew longer, her hair accessory collection grew bigger and the bow organizer alone was no longer cutting it.  With all of that extra hair came tiny elastics, medium elastics, bobby pins, head bands, and other various clips and hair ties, so it was time to come up with something else.

Enter this gorgeous two-tiered tray.

Some of you may remember that I was longing for a tiered-tray back at the beginning of the year, and I finally found and purchased the perfect one on Amazon with my gift cards leftover from Christmas. 

Well guess what?  That item that you see listed there?  When you purchase it, you actually get two of them.  Yes, you get two of those two-tiered trays that you see pictured.  I had no clue that was the case until they showed up at my doorstep, but I sure was excited!  I still can't find anything on the website that says there are two of them, so I have no clue if it was a fluke or what!  

I purchased the original tray to use in our kitchen, so when I found out that I had actually received two, I knew that the second one would be perfect to use in Olivia’s room to hold her ever-growing hair accessory collection.

I knew that I wanted all of the different types of elastics and clips to be separated, so I set out to find some kind of containers to separate them. 

These glass jars from Hobby Lobby ended up being the perfect fit.  I found that six of them nearly fill up the bottom tier without wasting any space, and they are the perfect size to hold small things.  I also like that you can see through them… that makes it easy for Olivia to see which jar to pull from since she can’t see over the tops of them.  These would also be a great option.

We are currently using them to store the following:

Big elastics - we like the Goody Ouchless ones

Small elastics - we like these because her hair is so fine

Snap hair clips - we love these

Scrunchies

Elastic hair bands

Chap Stick

Yes, I know that Chap Stick isn’t a hair accessory, but she had one jar that was left empty so until we have something hair-related to put in there we are keeping her ever-growing Chap Stick collection in there.  ;o)

The top tier holds her hard head bands, and it also serves as a resting place for her brush, which I also cannot rave about enough!  What did we ever do without the Wet Brush? 

The best part about the tray is that it is extremely versatile so we can change it up and customize it to our needs as she gets older.  And when she no longer needs it for her hair accessories, she can use it for something else – makeup, trinkets, little picture frames, school supplies… the possibilities are endless!  

And to see how I'm using my second tray (the one that I bought for the kitchen originally) here it is!  Right now it's holding my Gulp mug (a Marshall's special), a couple of other mugs, my fake succulent, my favorite candle, and our collection of shells that the kids have brought home on all of our beach trips.  Isn't it cute?

What unique storage system are you using to store your little one’s hair accessories?
