hairbow holder

I love making hair accessories for my girls. Unfortunately, this love for hair bows and clips has made quite a mess in the bathroom. I am finding the clips and bows everywhere. I finally broke down and made a hairbow holder. You may have seen these on other blogs. They are quite popular, but that's because they are so necessary. This little holder keeps them in one place. And it looks cute in the bathroom!



This was super easy to make. I just purchased a frame I liked and adhered coordinating cardstock to the glass. I then cut three pieces of matching ribbon and with a hot glue gun attached it to the back of the glass.



Now, all I have to do is slip the bows onto the ribbons for an adorable and functional piece.

    How cute! I have all my daughter's hairbows hanging from a cloth ribbon in my closet. She's expecting our first grandbaby in June. If it's a girl I'll have to drag out all those bows and make this pretty display.

    Awesome! And perfect timing . . . I was thinking about making one of these but not sure how to start. Do you have a tutorial on how to make the bows, too?

    I saw something like this on another blog and decided it was a MUST for my little one and my soon tobe great niece. However, I was under the impression you put the ribbon around covered mat board, cardboard, whatever board. Now, I'm wondering which would be best. Hmmm, decisions, decsions. Love the bows BTW :)

    I too would love a bow tutorial. I found this one http://www.girlythingsbows.com/
    but mine always turn out flat and not fluffy like the boutique bows.

    Hi April, is a bow band a bow that is attached to a soft headband?

    Yes a bow band is a bow attached to a soft circle headband but I have yet to figure out how to organize them. Since I make bows and clips to sell you can imagine the stock we have in my house! :o)

    What did you use to adhere the cardstock to the glass?
