Yet Another Bow Holder

If you are anything like my husband, you are wondering why I am making yet another bow holder. Well, it's because I keep finding better ways to do things. And this is my latest idea. I am sure it'll change again (even though I have encouraged my husband it won't) it will work good for now. Here is a shot of what I am now storing all of Amy's bows and headbands in/on.
I used the Mail Organizer tutorial from July's Project of the Month for the top part. The pockets work great for holding her headbands. I revamped it a little to get the size I wanted (12X14) but any size would work well. A taller one with bigger pockets would be good too but I didn't want my bows so low I couldn't reach them.
I also love all the ribbons hanging off the bottom. You can get a ton more bows on. When they are all filled up they are kind of layered so you just pick up one ribbon to see what is underneath. There is even enough room on this thing that I can clip all her flower clips on too if I wanted to. Here is a picture of it full of her goodies.
And there you have it - bow holder version 4.0. If you didn't want to make the mail organizer, you could find some skinny baskets and hook them to the canvas. That would work as well to hold your headbands.

Very cute! It makes Maddie's baskets look like a mess! I keep seeing your ideas and wanting to implement one, but you keep coming up with cuter and cuter ideas...will they every stop so that I can decide which one to make?!

Thanks for your wonderful craft blog. it's my favorite place to be to put me in a good mood
