Creative Guest...Nannygoat {Hair Bow Holder Tutorial}

{created by Nannygoat}
I went to Goodwill on a mission:

To find the funkiest frame I could find...

Hello?!! FOUND IT!

A little glossy turquoise spray paint please.

Oh my goodness, I love those details.
Okay, this frame would look fabulous on anything but I have something particular in mind.

Flip the frame over and measure ribbon to stretch from top to bottom with a little extra and hot glue (I'd use a staple gun if your frame is made of wood) the ribbon, evenly spaced (mine are about 2 inches apart) to the top.
Then, when the glue is dry, glue it (or staple it) straight to the bottom of the frame. Let dry and finally, attach all of those little girly hair bows that are floating around your house

Seriously, so easy my friends.

WA LA, you have a "funky bow holder thingy".
It's like art with a purpose... I love multi-tasking!
Ooooh, I just had another idea...
Oh my goodness, I'm off to Goodwill, I need another funky frame quick!

Happy crafting!

I was so in love that I posted my hot pink one on my blog, and people love this thing. I left your link as well so they could see "The real deal." Thank you for the wonderful inspiration! Such a darling project and you've inspired lots of mommies with overpowering hair clippies... You're making the world a better place one hair clip project at a time. (grin)

There's a link to my email in my profile. Thanks so much!!

Oh, and adorable project by the way!!

I love the frame and colors you used. I have a few of these around my house with all the clips I make. I usually criss cross my ribbon, but this was another fun idea and I like how you left the back open. Good idea for my next project. - Kristen

I thought I was so clever when I 'thought' of this idea a few days ago. I've been to every second hand/dollar store in the valley looking for awful frames. It looks fantastic. I love the chalkboard, too.

How funny! I just did this a few weeks ago. I have boys, so I bought a frame from the DI and put ribbon on it to hold their church ties. Very cool.
