Bow Holder Instructions

Many little girls have quite a few bows for their hair and they can become difficult to sort through if they're all just stuffed in a drawer. You can solve this problem by making a bow holder, which makes them easier to find when you need them and also serves as decor for the child's room. These bow holders are very easy to make and you can complete them very quickly. Create one or more for your own daughter or to give as gifts.


Instructions


1. Lay a piece of fabric on a table with the right side down.


2. Place a canvas art board on top of the fabric, with the back facing up. Make sure the fabric is a few inches larger than the canvas on all four sides.


3. Pull the fabric up on each side and staple it to the back of the canvas around the wood frame. Pull the fabric tight on all sides and on the corners.


4. Cut away any extra fabric, so that it does not bump out from the wall when it is hanging.


5. Cut out some ribbon pieces so that they are about 4 inches longer than the fabric-covered board. Experiment with how many ribbons you want--the more ribbons you have, the more bows you can hold, but don't put them too close together.


6. Lay the ribbons from the top of the board to the bottom of the board, as close or far apart from each other as you prefer. However, leave at least 2 or 3 inches between, to allow room for the bows.


7. Staple the ribbons to the back of the board, just as you did with the fabric. Make sure your ribbons do not get twisted and that they stay the same distance apart from each other.


8. Clip the bows and hair clips to the ribbons.
