Bows, Barrettes and Clips, Oh My!

Monkey has a lot of hair…
So of course we have a lot of girly bows, barrettes, headbands, and clips. A lot. So much so that the little tiny drawers in her bathroom were overflowing.

I have mentioned it here before but I am a bit anal. I like things to be organized and in their place. Digging through drawers for a hair accessory to keep Monkey’s hair under control and match her outfit was driving me crazy. So I put my thinking cap on and trying to think of a way to hang her barrettes and clips so that I keep them organized without cluttering up the bathroom.

Here is my solution.

I used frames from around the house, colored paper and ribbon that match her bathroom colors. So I didn’t even have to spend money to clean up the clutter.

I cut the paper to the size of the glass for each frame. I decided which direction the frame would be hanging and cut ribbon to the correct length. I put two pieces of ribbon in each frame but it depends on the size of the frame and the barrette’s and clips that will be hanging in the frame.

Place the frame face down on the table. Lay the ribbons in the frame, parallel to each other and in the direction they will be in the frame. Lay the glass and paper down on the ribbon. Fold the ends of the ribbon and tape it to the back of the paper. Put the back of the frame into place and your barrette frame is ready to hang.

A cute and inexpensive way to organize a little girls bathroom.

Kind of cute, huh.
