How to Make an Organizer for Hair Bows and Hair Accessories

I have some great tips on designing your own hair bow/ hair accessories organizer. We all know that when you have little girls, they are going to have all kinds of hair bows and accessories spread from one end of the house to the other if they're not organized properly. Hopefully, these tips will alleviate that problem.

Supplies you will need for a hair clip organizer: Foam Board or Art Canvas, Non-Toxic Acrylic paint, Paintbrush, Grosgrain Ribbon & a Stapler.

Hair Clip Holder: You can go to an arts and crafts store like Michaels or even Walmart, and pickup a 1/2" piece of foam board or an art canvas, either one will work. I would suggest the art canvas because it's more durable. The dimension of the board depends on how many bows you have to store. I personally like 24" to 30" wide by 24" to 30" tall because it will easily fit on most bedroom closet doors. It's best to measure the door that you plan on installing it on so you will get the correct size. You will need to paint the board or canvas with a non-toxic acrylic paint in the color of your choice. Once the paint has dried, you will take your ribbon and cut it 5 inches longer than your board. For example, if your foam board is 24 inches tall, cut your ribbon 29 inches long, that way you have enough ribbon to go over the edge of the board and have approximately 2 inches left on each end. Place your ribbon from 1/2" to 1" apart, one at a time, across the width of the board. Wrap the excess ribbon ends over onto the back of your board and staple each one to the frame (that's another good reason for using art canvas, there is a wooden frame to staple to). Repeat this step for each strand of ribbon. The ribbon should be snug because over time it will loosen up on its own. Once you have the organizer complete you just attach the organizer to the door with a couple of small nails and wire. If you would prefer not to have holes in your door, you can get a door hook and hang a decorative clothes hanger from the hook, attach two snap clamps to the clothes hanger and clamp the organizer to that.

Headband organizer: A couple of simple and inexpensive ways to keep your headbands organized is to take your empty 2 liter plastic bottles, wash them out good and fill with water and add food coloring of your choose. The headbands will fit nice and snug over the bottle. Another good way to organizer headbands is to take an empty cardboard container, like an empty oatmeal container and paint the container with a non toxic acrylic paint or wrap the container with gift wrapping paper. Both are very inexpensive and practical ways to keep your headbands organize.
