First off, Happy Birthday to my mom! She doesn't look at my blog, but I will wish her a happy day anyway!
After finding this awesome, Sister's Stuff, I saw this fun ribbon board to hang bows for Leilani. I have been wanting to make it for about a month and finally got around to it today.
It was so easy. Bryce cut a board to the size I wanted. The girls on the blog used hot glue to attach everything to the board. Instead of hot glue, I used a staple gun. I think this will hold up better then glue, we shall see.
Attach batting to the board, then cover with fabric, make sure that you pull tight so it is nice and smooth on the front. Cut out whatever kind of ribbon you would like, attach to the top and bottom and attach ribbon for hanging on the top, cover with paper to finish and voila!
I found ribbon for a dollar a spool at Michael's, which wasn't bad since there is still some ribbon left. I have found packages of ribbon at Target for a dollar that have quite a few spools, but each spool doesn't have a lot of ribbon on them, so I don't know how well they would work for the board.
Very inexpensive project. My thinner ribbon I have had lying around the house, so that was even nicer and Bryce already had the board, what a deal!
Here is the finished project:
Now, I need to fill it up and make some more bows!

Nice work! If I have a girl I'm commissioning you to make me one.
I love it! Thanks so much for sharing the blog, too. I'm going to start blogstalking it! Love ya, sis! Wish my girlies were small enough to love bows and cutesy barrettes!
Very cute, wish I had a need for one of those.
That turned out so cute! Remind me to give the bottle caps to you, so you can use them for more bows. :)
Marisa, heck yeah! You choose colors and for sure I will make one for you!
so cute. i'm with you on the stapler. i think the hot glue would last for about 5 minutes!
YOU ARE AMAZING!!!
But... I already knew that.
Super cute!
Have a wonderful day.
That is adorable!
You are quite talented.
I love this idea. Thanks for passing it along!!! I am going to have to do this for Lucy
I just stopped by your blog again and saw that you responded to me. Um, so for real, if you feel like making another one (it can be small), I like white and any shade of aqua/turquoise! No rush, obviously. :)
