DIY: Bow Holder

I have lots of bows for my hair and they take up a lot of room, so I decided to make a personalized bow holder for them!  Read along for step-by-step directions on how to create your own! 
1) Start with a slab of finished wood.  I got mine from Michael's and it cost about $5. 
 2) Pick ribbon of your choice to glue on the back of the main wood piece to clip the bows onto.  I got mine from Walmart and cut three even pieces with diagonal ends for a nice, finished look.
 3) You can paint the background any color you choose to.  I personally like simple colors, so I chose a white background with pink accents.  The pink accents match my ribbon.  
4) Paint anything you like to on the main part.  I painted my monogram along with the saying, "There's a bow for that".  I also painted around the edges with a slightly darker colored pink.  
5) Since I live in my sorority house and we can't put any holes in the wall, I hung this with 4 Command  Strips.  These are super strong and are easy to remove when you take it down. 
Here is the finished product with some of my bows! I organized them by size.  

Have fun creating your own Bow Holder!! Post pictures when you finish! 

Xx, Katie
