I recently realized that I needed some sort of organization for my daughter’s hair clips. They were kinda out of control, and I felt as if they might be multiplying during the night!
We just had them all sitting in a bucket, and to find the one I wanted to put in her hair, I would have to dig in, pull them all out, and make a huge mess.
One day I came across this orange frame that we had used as a prop at my daughter’s first birthday party. I knew that it would be perfect, because the color already matched the color scheme of her bedding, and I wanted to hang this up above her crib.
So all I did, was take coordinating ribbon, and hot glue it on one end, then cut it at the correct length, and hot glue it at the other.
Once the glue had cooled a bit, I then went back over it with a thick bead of hot glue, just to make sure it wouldn’t pull out from the weight added by the bows.
When I was sure the glue was completely dry, I added the bows to it, and hung it on the wall! It’s perfect for holding her bows, as well as the smaller clippies that always get lost because they never had a home!
If you use one of my tutorials, I’d love to see. Send me a link or picture to Vanessa {at} OurThriftyIdeas.com
How about a circle shaped piece of wood. Paint it skin tone color and paint on eyes, nose, lips. Then braid some yarn to make long braids, and glue to the sides of the wood (if the wood is at least thick enough to allow such). Have the braids hanging way down for lots of bows and barrets to be clipped to on either side. Then glue on the upper edge of the board some bangs (just don’t glue them down on the face part, just the edge part. Then add a hanger piece to the back. Now the girl face with braids can hold some of the bows and barrets and clips. It you cut a T-shirt shape out of cardboard and attach it to the back of the lower part of the head with popsicle sticks glued to the lower head and the upper T-shirt cardboard you can add a pin holder. Put an old too small favorite T-shirt over the cardboard added piece. Then cheap jewelry pins can be pinned to the T-shirt portion.
That turned out really cute!
