Make Holders For Hair Ribbons

Keep all your hair ribbons organized on an accessory holder.

Hair ribbons add color and fun to any hairdo. They can be used as headbands, hair ties, glued as bows to barrettes, etc. However, the hair ribbons can get tangled, messy and easily lost if they are not properly organized. To ensure organization, make a hair ribbon holder. With a few simple items, you can make yourself framed peg board to house all of your ribbons.

Instructions

1. Remove the backing of the frame. If you're using a frame that has a glass pane on the inside, carefully remove it.

2. Purchase a peg board from a home improvement store slightly smaller than 11 inches by 14 inches (about 1/8 inch smaller).

3. Paint the peg board your favorite color or to match your bathroom/bedroom. Since the peg board is small, there's no need to waste money purchasing a whole gallon of paint. Instead, purchase "sample paint" from any home improvement or paint store. For just a few dollars, you'll get 8 ounces of paint---enough for two coats of paint on your peg board.

4. Dip your paint brush into the paint and apply an even coat of the paint to the peg board. After three hours, apply a second coat of paint if necessary. Allow 24 hours for the paint to completely dry.

5. Place the peg board inside of the frame so that the painted side faces outward. Replace the frame's backing to keep the peg board secure.

6. Slide the peg board display holders into holes on the board. About 15 peg holders will fit on an 11 inch by 14 inch board.

7. Hang your hair ribbons over the peg holders. You can tie the ribbons into knots so they don't slip off.
