DIY Bow and Headband holder

In an effort to make space in our small apt for our new little baby, I am cleaning out drawer space and shelf space and moving things to the walls. Since I cant commit to a paint color or art work I am trying to make my bare walls functional at least.
Here is one of my "On the Wall" projects.

1.First I bought a frame from GoodWill. Now this frame was supposed to be for this project, but that changed quickly. I took the frame apart and was surprised that the flowers were just a print and not actually behind the glass!

2. I lightly sanded and spray painted the frame.
3. While at Target I found these awesome napkins and thought of my DIY bow holder. I purchased the spray adhesive there as well. 

4. I sprayed the cardboard backing of the frame and stuck two napkins to it and smoothed it out. I never used spray adhesive before but I LOVE IT...and thats not the fumes talking. 

5.  I took some yarn like ribbon I bought years ago because I thought it was cool but didnt know what to do with it and spaced it out on the board and stapled it to the back of the cardboard. 

6. Then I assembled! Here is what it looks like before the bows and headband are added.

7. Lastly I added our bows and headbands and hung up our completed project.

Now it looks incredibly full already. This is including our little tiny infant/newborn head bands that my tot cant wear anymore and the ones she can wear. I figure Ill remove the tiny headbands and such as our new LO grows out of them.

There you go!

    1. Hi megfinlay,
      I used little white hooks that screw into the wall, but I just shoved them into the cardboard.
