Owen will attest to the fact that I'm not a crafty person. I would love to be, but I'm not. I have tons of ideas but never seem to know how to execute them. I'm happy to say that I finally followed through with a craft project that I said I was going to do.
If Gwyneth and Lillian have hair like their older sister there will be TONS of hair bows in our house. I have yet to master making bows but I figured I could make something to display the ones they do have. I saw the idea for a bow holder on another blog and thought it looked easy enough (no sewing involved). All I needed was a glue gun, some fabric, ribbon and an old frame. I didn't have a frame but found one at Goodwill for $5.00! Since the frame wasn't the right color I had to get some spray paint too. Add the paint, fabric, ribbon and frame together and my project only cost about $12!
It took longer for the paint to dry on the frame than it did to the rest of the project. Here it is completed and ready to be hung up.
On the wall in Gwyneth & Lillian's room.
Now I have to figure out how to make the bows. Maybe I'll accomplish two craft projects. Maybe. Stay tuned...
That looks great! I like the polka dots.
ReplyDeleteWay to go Donna! I'd love to make bows together! I'm sure we could make an event of it.
ReplyDeleteImpressive...it's huge! You get double points for it being so big!!!
ReplyDeleteI may have to pick your brain and make one for our house! Any ideas or have you seen anything on storing and displaying headbands???
Look at you GO!!! That is a really, really cute idea. I think I have a few little nieces that will be getting this for Christmas! Thanks for the idea...and the mini-tutorial!
