Bows, Bows and more BOWS!

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!!
