HOW TO MAKE A SUPER EASY & VERY INEXPENSIVE HAIRBOW CLIP HOLDER!

I am loving making my baby girl hairbows but the 1st hairbow holder I made her is full so I decided to make her another one! I can't get myself to buy one because they are pricey + I like doing crafts!

Here's how inexpensive & easy it is to make one!

Materials needed:
Wooden decorative hanging piece (with hanger clip on the back to hang on the wall) - this one I bought at Jo-Ann Fabrics for $1.00!
Ribbon (I used 7/8 width)
Measuring Tape
Scissors
Staple Gun
Lighter
Paint

We painted our decorative piece, I used pink (my baby's room is sage & pink)
Then I took my ribbon & cut it to the desired length and singed the ends with the lighter to avoid fraying.
The top of the ribbon I made in a "V" like shape so that the ribbon is spread out once facing frontwards.
Once it dried I flipped the decorative piece over and stapled (using the staple gun) the ribbon to the back.

Here is the finished product!

  5. That is so cute. I used to use something like that for my daughter when she was little. Sadly, no more hair bows since she's a teenager.

  8. Very cute. I use to have one of these for my daughter's bows. It was also made out of wood but it was in the shape of a J for Jasmine. Very nice way to display hair bows. Thanks for sharing how to make one.

  9. Such a great idea, I end up with hair clips strung all across the bathroom - and never can find the right one. Will be giving this a try this weekend.

  11. That's awesome! Can you believe I just paid like $25 for a bow holder on Etsy?! LOL I will have to check this one out and see if I can make it cheaper than what I paid to have one made!
