Store hair bows on a homemade holder.
Bows, bows everywhere! What to do with them? If you store hair bows in drawers, they could get squashed, lost in the mix or damaged. But you can make a simple yet highly functional holder for your hair bows, and even dress it up a bit by decorating it.
Instructions
1. Select two different ribbons that match the color of the room in which the hair bow holder will hang. One ribbon should be 1 1/2 inches wide, the other 7/8 inches wide.
2. Cut both strands of ribbon to 4 feet long. Center the ribbon with the smaller width on top of the other ribbon.
3. Apply liquid fray check at both ends of the ribbons to seal them. If the ribbons are made of 100 percent polyester, you can also seal the ends by swiftly heating them with either a lighter or candle. Do not heat to seal cotton ribbon; it will catch fire.
4. Fold about 3 inches of ribbon over the d-ring, then sew it down, either by hand or by machine to secure the d-ring. A single row of stitches across will suffice but stitching a rectangle works best, especially if you plan to add decorations.
5. Tie a sheer ribbon around the d-ring to hide it. Add decorations to the length of the hair bow holder if desired. This can be buttons, monogramming or other items.
6. Hang the hair bow holder on the wall by the d-ring. Clip large hair bows on the wider length of ribbon and smaller hair bows on the narrower ribbon.
7. Trim length off of the bottom if the hair bow holder is too long. Reseal the bottom, either with liquid fray check or a candle or lighter.
