Bow Storage 101

Every cheerleader probably has 1OOs of the.....b word, you know what I mean! BOWS! What cheerleader could live without them? If you're like me and you have tons and tons of bows and no where to put them here's a few different ways.

 #1 Bow Ribbons Hangers

Materials:
  • Four different colored ribbons (1 yard each)
  • Four foam or wooden letters (B, O, W, S)
  • Nails & Hammer
  • Hot Glue Gun
  • Staple Gun or Thumb Tacks
How to Make:
  1. If letters aren't painted then paint them to coordinate with the different colored ribbons
  2. Hot glue ribbons to the back of each letter make sure it's secure so the added weight of the bows won't rip the ribbon
  3. Nail letters to wall
  4. Press ribbon down along the wall (it doesn't have to be stick straight so you can still clip the bows on the ribbon) then staple or thumb tack the bottom
  5. Decorate the ribbon strips with your beautiful bows!

  2. Put all bows in an even line or any other pattern you desire
  3. See? It's simple!
 
#3 Frame Bow Hanger
 
Materials:
  • Picture Frame
  • 1/2 a yard of ribbon
  • Buttons
  • Paint
  • Staple Gun
How to Make:
  1. Start by using the staple gun to staple the ribbons along the top and bottom of the frame
  2. Hot glue the first layer of the buttons and then let it dry, next scatter the rest of the buttons on top of the other buttons for a pattern
  3. You can then paint your name, your team's name, the word 'bows', etc on the top of your frame
 
Now all of your bows have a safe home! Each of these storage options will look great with any room and won't add clatter! Hope this helps!

A Cheerleader
