How to Make Cute Hairbow Holder for Little Girls

Keep bows and ribbons organized so they don't get lost.

Little girls love to wear bows and ribbons in their hair for all occasions. A collection of numerous bows and ribbons can become a mess very quickly if the accessories are not kept neat and orderly. Clipping hairbows on a simple bow made from your child's favorite ribbon is a cute way to organize and easily find a bow for any occasion. Use a thicker, less flexible ribbon such as organza to help the bow holder keep its shape. Match the ribbon's color to your child's bedroom decor. Select ribbon featuring ladybugs, flowers or polka dots for an even cuter look.

Things You'll Need

• 1 piece of colored ribbon 8 feet long
• 3-inch nail
• Hammer

Instructions

1. Tie the ribbon into a bow, allowing the bow's tails to hang two to three feet from the knot. Tie the bow as small or as large as you would like, as long as the tails allow hanging space.

2. Pull tightly on the bow to create a tight knot.

3. Push a 3-inch nail through the middle of the knot.

4. Hammer the nail into the wall at least four feet from the floor, allowing the ribbon to hang down along the wall. Drive the nail just as deep as it takes to hold the bow in place.

5. Clip or tie any bows and ribbons onto the hanging tails of the bow.

Tips & Warnings

• Make and hang multiple hair bow holders if you need more than one to organize the accessories.

• Hanging the bow holder next to the bathroom mirror or the closet allows for convenient access while getting ready.
