If you have a girl, you will sympathize! BOWS are everywhere! We have 3 bow holders currently and they are all filled. So, as I was walking through Hobby Lobby the other day and ran across these large white letters and I thought that would be a great base to add more than one ribbon onto for a BIG bow holder. So, I bought it- of course- and then brought it home and painted it with 2 coats of acrylic paint. After that, I added the polka dots and then the glitter (make sure the paint is still tacky to hold the glitter). I let this dry completely and then I sprayed the whole letter with a clear spray (2 coats) to make sure the glitter stayed on and that the paint will not chip. When that dried, I took some craft glue and adhered 3 ribbons separately. The first ribbon (about 12 in long), I connected the 2 ends together and glued the connected ends to the top, backside of the letter. The second two ribbons (about 30 in ea) I connected to either side of the bottom of the backside of the letter. Let it dry and HANG IT UP!! Now we have room for all of the bows... I even think we could add a few more to Samantha's collection!
I hope that everyone is having a great day. Remember to smile and don't forget to eat your ice cream! OH YEAH! Birthday Cake ice cream by Blue Bell- YUMMY!!
