DIY Bow & Headband Holders

If you know me, you'll know how excited I was when I had a little girl. Decorating her nursery and adding girly touches to it has been so much fun. I've been searching different ideas on Pinterest and have been very happy with how they have turned out!

One of the first projects I took on was a headband holder. The materials are as follows:

- Large ice tea container

- Fabric, wrapping paper, scrapbook paper (I used 2 pieces of scrapbook paper)

- Ribbon

- Candle holder

- Hot glue gun

- Bow or Flower

It's simple. Empty out and clean the ice tea container. Cover the outside with your fabric or paper using a glue gun. Cover the seams and decorate with ribbon. Hot glue the container to the candle holder. Glue bow or flower to the lid for decoration and slide on your headbands! This cost me next to nothing since I had everything in my house already except for the candle holder!

Slide your headbands on & Voila! Instant headband holder!

 This was super simple to make. Once I started to put her headbands on, I realize that she has 40 headbands! You read that right, 40! Then I found my next project, a bow and headband holder. I absolutely love this. The materials are as follows:

-  A piece of square cork board

- Fabric large enough to cover the cork board

- Ribbon ( I used 3 different colors and 2 different sizes)

- Hot glue gun

- Screw hooks

Cover the square cork board with the fabric, hot glue down. Place the ribbon vertically down the board, evenly spaced. (It took 5 pieces of ribbon for the cork board I used) Hot glue the ends of the ribbon to the back of the board. Screw a hook in between each piece of ribbon, hot glue down for extra hold. Add a ribbon handle to the top if you would like to hang your holder from a hook. I made 2 of these, one for my daughter, and one for a friends baby shower. I was very happy with how they came out!

This is the one that I made for my daughter, I used the command strips to hang it.

This is the one that I made for my friend. I  used a different ribbon placement and added ribbon to hang the holder.

 You can clip the bows right onto the ribbon and hang the headbands off the hooks. Great way to see all your little girls bows and headbands without having to dig through a draw!!!

I'm going to leave you with one last Pinterest creation that I made last night. It has nothing to do with headbands and hair bows but I was extremely happy with how it turned out. 

I painted the molding and letters white. I thought the molding added a nice frame and it was different.

So I love Pinterest and the DIY ideas that it gives me. These were all super easy, the most difficult part was measuring and making sure everything was level while I was hanging the molding and letters!! If your not on Pinterest, trust me and join. You'll be addicted within minutes!
