Hair Bows. Hair Bows Everywhere

I have two girls. No wait. I have two girly girls. and we have more hair bows/flowers/clips then their little bathroom can handle. So what happens? Pinterest happens. I saw these cool bow hanger things on there and HAD to make my own version. So here it is:


What you need:
wood frame in at least an 11x13
Landscape fabric- it isn't fabric at all, is wire mesh you get in the garden center of Lowe's or Home Depot. 
Picture hanging wire
Small eye screws
2 wooden dowels-.25" size
Hot glue
Wire cutters


I started with cheap WOOD frames from Wal-mart. They really need to be wood or the paint doesn't stick. I did a coat of white spray primer (sorry no pic) and then 2 coats of  paint. Don't ya just love that blue!?!? 


While the paint was drying I cut the landscape fabric to match the size of the glass in the frame. 



Then I used hot glue to sandwich the "fabric" between the frame and the dowels. You have to hold it there for a bit to make sure the dowels don;t pop back up when you let go.  (Don't ya love the picture of my cast?? Stupid broken wrist.)



Then hammer a starter spot for the eye screws. 


Screw in the eye screws and then attach the picture wire. Wrap it up nice and tight. 






And hang your bows!! Easy as pie!
