Bow Board

Two little girls and so many bows! Allison's old bow holder wasn't nearly big enough, so we needed something new. I was going to do something like this...

But a trip to Pottery Barn Kids (where we only go for story time and to let the kids play... I rarely actually buy anything there) gave me another idea. Here's what I ended up with:





Total cost: under $10

It was $5 for the plywood base (the buy at Lowe's marked a $15 2'x4' piece down for me cause it had a lousy corner), $2.79 for a spool of grosgrain and a little more for hardware to hang it. The fabric and batting I had on-hand from other projects. Its 18x24 and fits so many bows! They're not even all on there, in the picture, but I *think* it will fit all of them. Maybe... if I quit making them...

I'm using this project to audition for American Crafter over at Naptime Crafters... wish me luck!

Love it. I'm about ready to make a new bow holder too- one just isn't cutting it for us any more!
