I’ve been seeing lovely hair bow holders all over boutique children’s stores in the last few months. My daughter is an avid fan of hair bows already, at the ripe old age of 17 months. I find tiny pink, white, and yellow bows all over our house! I’ve thought about getting a bow holder at one of the boutiques that sell them, but even a small one seems to run $30 dollars and up.
So instead of buying a hair bow holder, I figured out how to make one! Below, are the 3 simple steps!
YOU NEED:
– An appropriate size piece of plywood, or an art canvas from a craft store like Micheal’s.
– A piece of fabric you want to use.
– Enough Ribbon to cover your project.
– A staple gun.
Step 1- Cut your fabric to the right size for your canvas. Fold fabric over the corners of the canvas, like you would wrap a Christmas present. Staple as you go, pulling fabric tightly.
Step 2- Decide on a ribbon to use, and measure out the amount you need to cover your canvas in your preferred pattern. You could do vertical, boxes, or criss-cross like I did below. After you settle on a pattern, staple the ribbon in the back of the canvas.
Step 3- Add an additional Ribbon to hang the bow holder from. You may also want to add a square piece of cardboard to the back, stapling once in all four corners. That way, any wall you hang the bow holder from is protected from the many jagged staples you may have put in during the process!
Enjoy your bow holder! It’s ready to have oodles, and oodles of pretty bows and barrettes clipped to it’s many ribbons!

Shannon, I wish I had known you were in the market for these. Stacy makes them & sells them for only $10.00 and she does custom orders.

Marilyn (A Lot of Loves) says
That is fantastic! My daughter is almost 16 months and she loves her little bows. I just keep them in a tupperware cup but that is a much nicer way of storing them.
Jenn says

Thanks for stopping by. I'm following you now too! I love the hair bow holder. I'm really trying to dig into my crafty side and practice crafting so I can make the things I want to have for my son's first birthday party. It's 9 months away, so I have lots of practice time. I'm not crafty at all. By the way, I also read your rude behavior post. That's disgusting. It would have irked me beyond all belief.
Gucci Mama says
That is so cute! Someday I might sit down and really try to be crafty, but so far that particular instinct hasn't really materialized. This motivated me, though! 😉
Following!

Lisa R says
Love it. My granddaughter is really into the hairbows. I really could have used something like this when my daughter was little. Heck I collected them for nearly 3 years before she had enough hair to actually use one.
We were still using honey to stick one to her head until then. My two boys had curls that Shirley Temple would have envied and my poor daughter didn't go beyond fuzz until nearly 3. Hard to believe now when you look at her head of hair but I really thought we were going to have to get her a wig(lol)
Joy says
I love this! What a creative idea. I just have all of my daughter’s bows in a little box. This is much cuter!
