Valentines Bow Holder

Oh how I love making bows and clips for my girls and sometimes family and friends as well as to sell.

I like to keep the themed bows seperate and put away with the decor of the Holiday so I needed a Valentines Day Bow Holder.

I am also going to enter this into Global Design Project #071, which is a 3D anything but a card.

Would you like to play along, CLICK HERE.

 I started with these chalk board frames I got from Micheal's a while ago on Clearance for $0.89 under $1.  Normally $4.00, lets just say I went back and picked up almost all of them, variety of sizes and colors.

I am using some Wood elements, just placeing them to see how I like them.

 The small wood hearts I am not sure which company but the large wood heart I picked up this Valentines at Hobby Lobby.

Using Holiday Red paint color.

 Again I am not sure where I got the wood Love but I am heat embossing it with Silver Embossing powder, I do this a few times to get a nice shinny thick layer.

 I turn the sign over and line it up with my grid mat so I get my ribbon straight.

 I use a lighter to seal the edges and a hot glue gun to adhere them to the back.

Its about 20 inches of ribbon from Micheal's Christmas clearance time, its a red burlap type feel to it.

3/8 inch wide.

All Done.

This will hold lots of bows.

White Felt Flower with Red Felt Heart

OH, how I love Hobby Lobby during the Holidays, they always have such cute what they call stickers, that are made from felt and have a small foam piece adhered to the back which is easy to remove which makes it awsome for Hair Clips, Alligator or Barrette style.

 Here is the packaging, White Felt Flowers with a Red Felt Heart in the center.

There are four pieces inside, they call them stickers.

I got them for $2.09 Regular price $2.99, they were 30% off, sometimes these do not last on the shelves so I get them when I can.

 Here I pulled most of the foam sticker off the back.

I then used scissors and a exacto knife to get most of the rest off.

 From Hobby Lobby also I use their the Jewelry Shoppe findings for the clip parts and I always buy two packages of each size when ever they are 50% off.

I am also useing some Micheal's 360 White Gross Grain ribbon 3/8 inch width.

 I cut all my ribbons and heat sealed them.

I am using 2 and 2.3 inch barrette clips and 1.75 inch alligator clips.

 After I added the ribbon to the barrette clips I made sure I opened them and had them like shown in the photo because so many times I glue the pieces on top backwards and its harder to get the barrette in your childs hair when it opens the other way.

 Its hard to explain but I visualize them in the air to make sure I get one alligator clip facing left and one facing right.

 Here again, I double check before glueing to assure I do not mess up, but low and behold I did mess up one, OH well.

All done, I will keep four for the girls and sell the other four.
