I'm almost embarrassed to post this as a craft because it is so easy. But sometimes we all need easy and besides this is neat.
Home Depot had a hunk of 1x10" in the scrap bin that was about 24" long. Mine! I nailed a piece of 1x2" to each end on the back.
This was needed to raise the board off the wall when hung. Add a picture hanger on one end.
I stretched the hairbands over the 1x10", somewhat evenly spaced out. (As evenly spaced out as I am capable of anyway) Tuck your cards, letters and mementos into the bands.
I opted not to paint or stain the board because I liked the contrast between the colors and the naked wood. You have my permission to treat the wood anyway you please. (I'm in a generous mood today)
Although this is perfect for St. Patrick's Day, feel free to use it throughout the year. (more generosity)
It began with a trip to the dollar store where I spotted these elastic covered headbands in wonderful rainbow colors.

I bought some of these hair band a few weeks ago and tried to wear one in my hair,it didn't work for me. I thought "Well,now what am I going to do with all these hair bands?" Now I know.

I picked up a package of those headbands too. Amazing how many uses one can dream up for them -- hadn't thought of this one though! Clever you! I’d love it if you would consider linking with Busy Monday (open Monday through Thursdays) at A Pinch of Joy, a linky party for ideas that make life better, easier and more fun!
Fabulous idea-and so simple!
