Bow and headband holder

So here's the project I was going to share.

I found a great bow holder that I knew my girls would love!  Fortunately, she also offered a template!

You can find the tutorial and template here*.

I did a few things differently.  First off, I used scrapbook paper and Mod Podged it to the cardboard. 

Then I used a length of elastic to tie my tulle onto.

I also hot glued the ribbons the bows would be hanging on onto the bodice.

I love taking macro pics!

Bows on.

Love macro pics!

Then I saw, but didn't save the link, a bow and headband holder.  So rather than choose between the two, I combined them!

Painted my frame, had some issues with the paint, so I sanded it for a rustic look.  When all else fails, go for the rustic look!

Had some these lying around, so I hot-glued them to 3 of the edges.

The frame didn't have a hanger, so I gave it one.

And the nails ended up being a bit too long!

Trusty ole ribbon

hot-glued to the frame and voila!  Nails gone!

Hang the headbands.

And thar she be!

Fun, simple and girly!

Baby and I are doing fine.  Mindy requested her birth story, which I had already planned on writing about, and, barring any deep aversions to blood and gore (you can just skip!), that will hopefully be the next post!

Until then, adios!
