Equipment

Ingredients

  • Wooden board (any size you prefer)
  • Acrylic paint in desired colors (in desired colors)
  • Wooden letters or stencils (for personalization)
  • Ribbon (various colors and widths)
  • Hot glue gun and glue sticks
  • Sandpaper (optional, for smoothing edges)
  • Hanging hardware (sawtooth hanger or ribbon loop)

Instructions

  • Step 1: Prepare the Wooden Board - Start with a plain wooden board. Sand the edges for a smooth finish if needed. Lightly mark where the name and ribbons will be placed with a pencil.
  •  Step 2: Paint the Board - Choose a color scheme that matches the child’s room. Apply an even coat of acrylic paint and let it dry completely. You may need multiple layers for full coverage.
  • Step 3: Add Personalization - Use wood lettering, stencils, or freehand painting to add the child’s name or initials. Let it dry before handling.
  • Step 4: Attach the Ribbons - Cut ribbons into equal lengths and space them evenly across the bottom of the board. Secure them with hot glue so they hang downward for clipping bows.
  • Step 5: Add Hanging Hardware - Attach a sawtooth hanger to the back or loop a ribbon at the top for easy hanging.
  • Step 6: Fill with Hair Bows - Clip bows onto the ribbons for an organized and stylish display. If gifting, include a few handmade bows for an extra special touch!
