This coming weekend Simply {Darr}ling is going to be at Convington Days! This is a city wide festival which includes a vendor booth fair. I have been crafting like crazy to get ready for this to make sure I have lots of stock in hand. One of the items that I started making are hair bows and realized that I didn’t have a way to display them.

Over the weekend I came up with a way to display them using thrift store frames, ribbon and scrap-booking paper. If you can’t find any frames in your local thrift stores I saw some at the dollar store that would work too. I used an 8×10 frame but really the only requirement is that it be a frame that stands up, not hangs.

The frames were natural wood color so I spray painted them white. I knew I wanted a pretty background in the frame so I used some scrapbook paper. I used the glass in the frame to trace onto the paper.

I wanted to secure the ribbon in the back of the frame so that the staple wasn’t visible. In order to do this I measured the ribbon so that it would stretch from one back to the other. I laid them out under the frame then secured them with a staple gun.

Once the ribbon is secure, simply add the glass, paper and backing back into the frame!

I love how they turned out!  Once this weekend is over they are heading to Aubree’s bedroom (she is my little guinea pig and has been the tester for a minky blanket and personalized chair).

If you have a little girl with a bunch of bows this project is a perfect way to store them! Excluding paint drying time this project took about 15 minutes to complete. If you make one of your own send me a picture so I can see how it turns out! If you would like one but don’t want to make it send me an email and I can list one for you on Etsy!
