DIY Headband Holder

10/17/2014

After giving birth to 5 sons I did the impossible... gave birth to a human girl! My first thought... oh the endless craft ideas! Not that I couldn't do a lot of crafty creations for boys, I mean there are lots of cool stuff for boys... like trucks and dirt... and more dirt? I love being a mom to boys but come on, I have an inner diva that needs to be free! Now what can I do for my first girly craft? Baby girl is only 5 weeks old and she already has a nice collection of hairbows and headbands. They need a home! Let me also say, I am not one of those people who dresses their child in an oversized hairbow so that she can be mistaken for a colorful rooster... I'm not! Okay I do put them on her for pictures... but that's it... Honest! Anyway, lets get crafting!

You will need...

a frame
hooks
ribbon
material
hot glue gun
paint (if you want to paint the frame)
cute decoration (optional)

I had the frame, ribbon, and hooks already. The hooks had old paint on them so I cleaned them up and painted them pink. I planned on painting the frame pink but later decided it would be too much pink (yes you CAN have too much pink) so I left the frame as is. I paid a total of $2.50 for this project. Not bad!

The first thing I did was spend about 5 hours putting the hooks in and making sure they were equally spaced... Okay it didn't take 5 hours but I am so picky about things that I did spend a horrid amount of time measuring... So add some hooks... then I hot glued 3 strips of ribbon to the back of the frame.

Then I started hot gluing the material to the back of the frame. I left about a half inch of material all around the frame and folded it back and hot glued it down.
