Freelance Friday: DIY Hair Bow Holder

Happy Friday! It's the weekend and you know what that means, it's time to craft. Do you have any plans on what to create this weekend? Here is a very cute craft you can create with your little girls. This DIY Hair Bow Holder is so cute and innovative. Little girls have tons of hair accessories, and they can often be hard to store in a systematic way. This holder allows you to place your hair bows on it, and see exactly what your options are. The other special thing about this project is that you can hang this in your home, and it can be wall art. This project is fairly simple to create you will need a wood frame, chicken wire, and FolkArt paint. Be as creative as you would like. This may also be a craft you can hang earrings on as well. This is definitely a great weekend project to tackle. To learn how to make this hair bow holder visit the blog, Artsy Fartsy Mama.
