How to make a bow holder

April 16, 2010 by Wifeeclectic 15 Comments

I know that I have shared this before, but it has been a really long time and I have a really cute, new holder to share.

First of all you need a piece of wood, or other topper. You can get the cute ones at the craft store that are already carved, some of them are even already painted. My husband got on a carving kick last week and made me the caterpillar you see below.

Then you take a length of grosgrain ribbon, I usually cut mine to about 30 inches of ribbon. This particular bow holder was made to fit two ribbons, but I can usually only fit one.
Fray check the ends of your ribbon and then hot glue to the back of the holder. Get a hanging bracket and hot glue, don’t nail it, to the back of your holder. Usually the holders are thin enough that if you nail them, the nails go through to the other side.
Hang on the wall and voila!. Wow, I think my bow obsession just came to light. My name is Debra and I have a bow problem…..

    Adorable! I never even thought to do anything else but shove them all in the bathroom drawer 🙂 Just what I need…another craft to tempt me! My kids got soy crayon rocks from their Grammy and I thought "I totally could make those". My hubby is going to throw me out with my gagillion crafting supplies one of these days. If I pick up any new hobbies he's just going to disown me!
