Hair Bow Bulletin Board = Mommy Organizational Bliss

Despite everyone having the flu this past week, I'm proud to say that I did get one project accomplished. The girls have so many bows and flowers for their hair that we've been keeping in baskets. It has honestly been a disorganized mess for months. I've been collecting these bulletin boards from garage sales and love that with the hair accessories now on the wall, I can see everything we have. I also know when I've over bought in one color like white! I'm really addicted to big bows, the bigger the better. I grew up wearing them and I love them on little girls. I hope my little ones don't grow out of letting me dress them up too soon!

How to Make Hair Bows - a DIY Tutorial

This fall I am so excited to be the coach for my daughter's soccer team. Before the season started,  I was able to meet up with the team and give them their uniforms. Because the uniforms are red and black, the girls decided they want their team name to be the Ladybugs.

As the coach (and a mommy) I couldn't resist the opportunity to make he girls matching hair bows.

Here are the steps I took to make these simple hair ties:

First I went to Target and purchased elastic hair ties. (I found them in the dollar bins. Score!) Then, I went to Michaels to buy red, black, white and ladybug ribbons of different textures, sheen and widths and cut equal-length pieces of each. (Of course, these colors matched my ladybug theme, and you can choose any ribbons of your liking. I do recommend choosing at least 2 or 3 different colors or sheen to show depth.)
