How to Make a Bow Rack

Hair bows easily collect around the house and can become quite the thing of clutter. If you toss them in a drawer for storage they get crushed and are hard to find. Custom make a rack designed specifically for your bows. The project is easy, and the outcome is a piece both suited for a neat, easy-to-manage bow collection and rich with visual charm.

Instructions

- 1
  Cut six 2-foot lengths of 1-inch-wide grosgrain ribbon. Cut one end straight and one end at an angle. Grosgrain ribbon is best for this project because its texture prevents the bows' clips from slipping.
- 2
  Run a thin line of liquid fabric stabilizer along the cut edges of the ribbon to prevent fraying. Liquid fabric stabilizer is available at most fabric stores.
- 3
  Fold one inch of the ribbon's straight end over the bar of a decorative clothes hanger. The angled end should be in back.
- 4
  Sew the front and back lengths of the ribbon together by hand-stitching a row of running stitches close to the bar of the hanger.
- 5
  Sew the other ribbons on in the same way. Leave different amounts of space between the ribbons to accommodate different sizes of bows.
- 6
  Hang the hanger in the closet or from a hook on the wall. Clip hair bows onto the ribbons to store them.
