I decided to finally do a few crafts that I have seen on blogs and thought "so cute - someday I'll do that." I figure I better get a few in before the baby because - well - you all know what happens when a little one comes. Not only does your brain go to mush, but you no longer have time to do anything for yourself, including shower... so I better get my 'me' time in before April :) You will probably be seeing a few of these projects on here quite often for the next few months!
I love making hair bows for Abby but I hate how they mess up the bathroom. They either overflow in a drawer or I can't seem to fit them all on a string hanging up. I found this tutorial - and I knew that was my solution! I headed to the DI the other day..and among many treasures I found this (other treasures I found will be featured later!) I'm not as big and fancy as the tutorial - but this fits my style a little bit better. I painted it with some old wall paint I had in the shed, then I distressed the edges with distressing ink, and then I glued some ribbon into the emptied out frame. I had everything but the frame already - so this only cost a whopping 2$!
Then I hung it in my bathroom... and decorated it with bows. It has actually turned out to be more than just a bow holder, now it's a decoration too! Something I lack in my bathroom! So I killed two birds with one stone! :) Glorious! (and now I have room to make some more!)
