Hair Bow Holder

Another Project I was working on at the same time I was doing the Jewelry Organizer, was something to hold and organize Audrey's hair bows and headbands.  Again, on Pinterest, I saw this, and thought it would be easy enough to re-create:


I found a large picture frame I had in a box of picture frames that either never made it back up in this new house, or have never been up, and we probably received them at our wedding.  I didn't do any painting, as it was already a perfect cherry color to match Audrey's furniture.  Just bought some ribbon at Joanne's, hooks, and they had some silk flowers on clearance that I grabbed to "pretty it up" a bit.




First of course, I took the everything apart, and just kept the frame:


Then I used Nathan's staple gun and hot glue to put in the ribbon.  I wanted to do some thick and thin pieces of ribbon for the different size hair bows,  and for a little artistic flair as well as one piece of ribbon horizontal to help stabilize the vertical pieces a bit.)




 

I cut a couple of stalks off the silk flowers, and glued them to the front of the frame:



Then, I drilled holes in the bottom of the frame to screw the hooks in:



After this, I used two of the hangers I had left over from my jewelry project and put drilled holes and screwed them in the back so I could hang it on the wall in Audrey's room.  And the final product:


So, Audrey's bows and headbands went from being stuffed in a box:


To being displayed nicely in her room.  Now it's quick and easy to see what I have and grab what I want to match Audrey's outfit:
 

I liked how it turned out, but I think I may need to add more hooks at the bottom at some point so more headbands will fit.  For now it's works though.
