Hair Bow Organizer

With SO many ideas on how to add a little frill and color to our second, white-walled apartment bedroom for baby, it seems like I only ever get to work on a little of each here and there and not actually have anything COMPLETED yet! But I decided I was dedicating one night to completing one of these projects from start to finish, perhaps to make myself feel like I was actually making progress on something :P

So here it is! A hair bow organizer for the clip-on bows baby girl will have (who knows when she'll actually use them though considering she'll most likely be BALD!)

MATERIALS:
1 rectangular canvas
paint
modge podge to seal the paint and add shine
ribbon
nails/staples to attach ribbon
decorative flowers (optional)

I purchased my canvas as Michael's as they had them on sale for 50% off, and who wouldn't like a sale like that?! I painted the canvas (3 coats) bright pink to match the pink in the thickest ribbon I had. Once the paint was completely dry, I covered it with the modge podge to seal the paint and add that shine that looks a lot better than flat paint does. And it doesn't scratch as easily either! Once that was dry, I started laying out the ribbons (froggie ones of course!) in the order I wanted, one at a time of course. I attached the ribbon to the back of the canvas with small nails (rolled up the ends of the ribbon to keep them from fraying or ripping out of the nails). After all the ribbons where in place, I glued on the decorative flowers just for a little more flair. I LOVE it, and it'll definitely add some color to those white walls! :)
