Hair Bow Holder Instructions

If you have a daughter, you most likely have a large collection of hair bows in every shade and color. If you are looking for a way to organize hair bows, you can easily make your own hair bow holder that will not only keep your hair bows neat and intact, but will also be a cute, decorative addition to any room. The key to making a hair bow holder is pretty ribbon; it's that simple.

Canvas Holder

Making a hair bow holder out of a simple canvas is very easy. Visit a crafts store and purchase a canvas in any size, depending on how many hair bows you have. You will also need a piece of fabric, pretty craft paper or wrapping paper that is large enough to cover the canvas. Wrap the fabric or paper around the canvas and use glue or tape to secure it to the canvas. Using a staple gun or a hot glue gun, attach one end of the ribbon to the top of the canvas, and then pull the ribbon tightly over the edge of the opposite end of the canvas. Repeat this process, spacing several ribbons across the canvas. Clip hair bows up and down the ribbons, and hang the canvas on the wall or prop it on a shelf or dresser.

Hanging Holder

The key to a hanging hair bow holder is using your imagination. Keep your eyes open for a cute hanging wall ornament, such as a wooden butterfly or heart. You can easily find these types of things at thrift stores and discount stores for less than a dollar. You will also need ribbon in 2 sizes; a larger, wider type of ribbon and a ribbon that is a little thinner. Make a loop with the smaller ribbon and glue both ends to the top of the wall ornament. This will be used to hang it on the wall. Now cut a smaller piece of ribbon. Fold a small piece of ribbon under on one end so it doesn't begin to fray. Glue the other end to the top of the wall ornament, overtop of the ends of the loop. After the glue dries, hang the ornament over a nail or thumbtack with the ribbon hanging down the wall. Clip the bows and barrettes all the way down the ribbon for a cute, decorative way to organize hair bows.

Closet Holder

If you need a discreet way to store your hair bows, the closet hair bow holder is the answer. All you need for this project is ribbon and a staple gun. Use a variety of coordinating ribbons, or you can use all the same color ribbon. Open your closet door, climb on a step stool, and staple the end of several pieces of ribbon to the top of your closet door so that they are spaced out evenly. Make sure the staple goes into the wood far enough that it won't stick up. Pull the ribbon straight down until it is taut, then staple the other end of the ribbon into the door. The ribbon doesn't have to reach all the way to the floor, just make sure the end of each ribbon is even so it doesn't look sloppy. Clip the hair bows down the ribbon. Leave the door open to show off your masterpiece, or close it when you want to keep it hidden.
