Bow Board

I just finished this little project the other day after finding myself frustrated about Makenna's plethora of hair bows and the way in which they were (NOT) organized. I got the idea off of this website and, after cringing at the $70 price tag, thought, "I could probably come up with something fairly similar and pay a fraction of their price." So I came up with this, which I don't think is quite as darling, but it sure serves a purpose and it came out how I imagined.

I had a hard time finding a board that matched theirs with the decorative iron work above, but I found a $6 board at Michael's (you could also make your own if you had a router), picked a couple of different pieces of scrapbook paper, a painted wood flower, and wooden bubble letters.

I glued the paper onto the acrylic-painted board and then Mod Podged it. Hot glue-gunned the flower and painted letters. Then attached the top bow to some triangle brackets on the back to hang it from and glue-gunned coordinating ribbon to clip the bows to. Pretty easy and it only cost a total of 14 dollars!

After clipping all of her bows/flowers to the ribbons, I found it kind of ridiculous how many bows she has...but completely girly and fabulous! Oh how I love having a daughter...
