DIY Hairclip and Hairband Holder

CJ and I are expecting a baby girl due in January. I am over-the-moon excited for my little girl's arrival. I can't wait to dress up in matching outfits with her. When she gets older, I can't wait to do all the girly things that moms do with their daughters.

We haven't decided on her name yet, so for now, I'll be referring to her as baby girl. Baby girl's nursery is slowly coming together. I'll be sure to post pictures of the final room. As an early gift, I received a few pieces of pink clothing, hats and hairbands. Hairbands. For years and years, I've secretly hoped I'd have a girl one day to dress her with beautiful hairbands. I haven't bought any yet, but I've no doubt baby girl will have a huge collection.

I got to thinking...what am I going to do with all the clips, bows and bands? Pinterest? Pinterest can be overwhelming with fabulous ideas, so I tried to stay away from it, but I was quickly drawn back to it. It's just the easiest place to save all my favorite ideas.

I came across pins for DIY hairclip and hairband holders and wanted to attempt making one myself. I have plenty of Pinterest fails, but I was confident this one wouldn't be so hard. It wasn't!

DIY Hairclip and Hairband Holder

Supplies:

* Frame of choice (I chose a 9x12 frame from Michaels. $9.99 with a 40% off coupon!)
* Ribbon (you can have fun with this. I kept it simple with a wide pink satin)
* Glue gun or super glue (I used super glue)
* 7/8" Cup Hooks (Bought at Michaels, but cheaper at Home Depot)
* Decorative flowers, butterflies, lettering, whatever you want!
* Measuring tape or ruler
* Pencil
* Scissors
* Powerdrill with drillbit smaller than 7/8" (CJ took care of this for me, so I don't know which size he used)

Instructions:

* Remove everything from the picture frame so you're left with only the frame.
* Decide how many strands of ribbon you want. I tried to keep in mind that hairclips have attachments and bows to them, so they'll stick out the sides a bit and space the ribbon out that way. 
* Measure the ribbon so you can glue from top to bottom. Cut.
* Measure how far apart you'd like the cup hooks and mark the spots with a pencil. I suggest keeping them at least 1.5" apart. If they're too close, the frame may crack. There's a little crack on the bottom of baby girl's frame. Not a big deal, but it'd be nicer if it wasn't there.
* Glue ribbon onto the frame. Let dry completely.
* Using the powerdrill, drill holes where marked. (CJ did this part for me, so I don't have other directions to give here).
* Hand screw in the cup hooks. (CJ did this part for me, so I don't have other directions to give here).
* Decorate the frame and you're done!

Overall, this was an easy project and something that baby girl will use for a few years. I can't wait to put it up on the wall :)
