Simple Bow Holder!

There are so many ideas for bow holders, but what about bows that are attached to hair ties or scrunchies? How do you keep those organized in a cute way?

This just wasn’t working because in order to get to a bow, you’d have to take all the bows off. With a seven year old, that’s just asking for a bigger mess later.

Remember those old accordion-style hat and coat racks? When I was asking my husband and mom what we might be able to do to wrangle this mess, this is what my mom suggested. She had a couple extra, so we went with it.

Then, I let Miss Sassy Pants begin to organize.

Miss SP: Oooh, I’m going to organize by holiday.

Me: That’s a great idea! Then maybe you can organize by…

Miss SP: Funk.

Me: Yes, that’s exactly what I was thinking.

Here is what she accomplished!

Cute. Simple. Cost me NOTHING. And, I helped get one more thing out of mom’s house.

Here’s the section Miss Sassy Pants said was for the “hangy down ones.”
