Awesome Organizing With Vintage Hair Rollers!

Okay, here's an organizing and storage idea that (I hope) will make you smile.

I rescued a huge bag of unwanted, old-fashioned plastic hair rollers, and have been working out ways to use them.

As one with naturally curly locks, I knew I'd have to repurpose the dickens out of them.  After giving them a bleach-and-water bath, I started playing around with ideas.  My previous post showed how I turned them into some offbeat jewelry:

As well as a sweet little Christmas ornament.

All very well, but I still had fifty rollers to use up.  Here is the answer: these cylindrical darlings will organize your life!  Simply stuff some rollers into various upcycled containers and WHEE!  Storage for all kinds of things!  Look inside this cut-down milk bottle:

Add paint brushes...

Voila!

Here's a nekkid peanut can:

I dressed it up with a necklace, but it would be a perfect blank slate for decoupage, paint, glitter or whatever.  Stuffed it full of hair rollers.  Now it's a cool and supremely functional art tool caddy.

Works equally well for makeup and bathroom-counter storage.

And here's my favorite use!  Not exactly organization - more like home decor.  Jam a bunch of rollers tightly into any kind of vase, like so:

Add water and foliage...it'll hold stems of all sizes and become a simply marvelous flower frog!

It's waterproof, easy to clean and fits into anything - you can turn any odd container into a working vase.

Ain't that fun?

I do so hope you enjoyed this one!
