Okay so after being a Mom to 4 boys, I really had no idea how many hair accessories I would start to collect?? I purchased some, received many as gifts and Ava does some modeling in return for FREE flower clips, headbands and hats.
For the last 15 months they have been collecting on my bathroom counter top and multiplying by the 10's!!
I finally decided to do a search on the internet to help me think of something that would organize all these bows and flowers. I came across the cutest idea ever!!
It took less than an hour to throw together and it is pretty inexpensive, especially if you hit the craft store on a 50% off everything sale like I did!! My canvas is about 22X28 inches. For the canvas, fabric and ribbon, it cost about $17!! I already had the picture hanger and other tools.
Since Ava is 2 1/2 and still gets into things, I knew I wanted to display her hair bows in my room/bathroom, plus that is usually where we do her hair every day. So I purchased fabrics and ribbons that would match my decor.
Enjoy the pictures of our step by step process!!!
My messy bathroom counter top! And this is not even all of them!!

Wow! that is so cool!!!
Chloe's hair bows are all in a big zip lock bag :(
After having four girls, you would think that I would've figured out something like this! haha!
Welcome to the dark side!! The bows!!
That is soooo cute!! Love it and it would make an excellent gift. Great idea!!
I put up ribbons in Em's armoire and hung them in that but they are not staying too well. I have them color coordinated and my dh makes so much fun of me. It's nice to know I'm not alone :)
I love this! Looks like a great project to tackleduring the Christmas holidays. Thanks for sharing.
So cute!!! I think we need to make one this holiday season too - I even have fabric to recycle! :)
Thanks for sharing!!
Great idea April! I look forward to seeing it in person next time I come over.
I saw this when you posted it and thought WOW - you are so creative and it holds a TON!! I have one, but it is FULL. I think before I brought up making another bow holder, my husband would suggest {{gasp}} purging the bows!
I shall keep it a secret :)
April that is GORGEOUS!
Wow that is a LOT of hair bows!
Not sure we could even half fill it up. But I might try to make a smaller one. The girls would love something like that in their room!
Thanks for sharing the idea and how too!
Blessings,
Jill
I love this idea! Maybe I'll get to make one of those soon!
