DIY: Bow Holder

 DIY BOW HOLDER

Alright, this is another great Pinterest find :) When I first saw this I knew Ruby had to have one! Its fairly easy but you may need someone with VERY strong hands to help you out.

YOU WILL NEED:

1. A large wooden picture frame (I found an old ugly one at the thrift store for $3)

2. Spray paint

3. Small hooks (The kind that you can screw into a wall or ceiling)

4. Ribbon of your choice (you want it no more than an inch thick)

5. Hot glue

I forgot to take picture as I was crafting so unfortunately I can only show you the finished product.

DIRECTIONS:

1.  Screw the hooks into the bottom of the frame. Here, you will want to do as I say and not as I do and space the hooks evenly. If you look closely at mine they are spaced kind of funky. This is also where you will need someone with strong hands! It may sound like a simple task but screwing those hooks into the frame can be really tough. Be prepared for you hands to hurt!

2.  Spray paint your frame. I used Krylon brand spray paint in "Ballet Slipper". make sure to apply a nice even coat to both the frame and the hooks. I was able to create an almost distressed look by applying and even but thin coat of paint so that you can see some of the dark color of the frame showing through. Let dry completely.

3.  Next you need to cut your ribbon into strands. Measure so that the ribbon has about 2 inches of length beyond the inner edge of the frame. you want to do this because you want to have enough ribbon to work with when you start to glue.

4.  Hot glue the ribbon to the back of the frame. be very careful to keep your ribbon straight and tight.

5. Hang on the wall

AND YOU'RE DONE! just clip ribbons and hang headbands!
