Easy Bow Holder Tutorial

The supplies you'll need:

  • ribbon
  • tulle
  • hot glue gun & glue sticks
  • scissors
  • hanger
  • Fray Check or Fray Block (not pictured)
  • yard stick

Start by cutting six, 2 yard strands of tulle. You are going to fold each strand in half and loop it around the hanger.







Set the hanger aside for now. Measure each of your ribbons to be 39 inches. Before you cut, apply Fray Check or Fray Block and let dry to prevent the ribbon from fraying.


After you've cut all the ribbons, plug in your hot glue gun and prepare the ribbons to be layered, if desired.


Measure 3 inches of ribbon and make a crease. Turn the hanger the opposite direction that you want it to be hanging. Glue the center ribbon first - glue down the 3 inches in the back. Next slide one tulle strand on either side. Repeat the gluing process for two more ribbons (one on each side). Then slide two strands of tulle on each side over and glue the final ribbons.


Turn it over to make sure everything is placed where you'd like.


The finished product:



In Brynlee Ann's new room she will have a shelf with pegs and this will likely hang from that. I have a few more projects to do, so stick around :-)
