I've been wanting to make one for my kids and decided that it would make a great Christmas present, especially as we've been trying to think of ways to give homemade gifts and buy less at Christmastime.
I checked out my craft stash, and found that all I needed to buy was a frame from Goodwill. Total cost: $5.
I gathered some batting scraps and hot glued them to a cardstock frame.
Then I cut a piece of scrap fabric to fit and stapled it in folds to the back.
I chose some wide and narrow ribbon that coordinated, and cut it to fit, then arranged them across the front.
Then I stapled each end to the back. (The cardstock I used was the picture already in the frame I bought from Goodwill--that made it easy!)
Then I slipped it back inside the frame. DONE!
I made a few flower bows to give with the ribbon board as well. I got a silk flower plant from the dollar store, and used some pretty jeweled brads in my scrapbook stash. It was pretty quick, and easy!
I can't wait for my kids to see this under the tree Christmas morning!

So cute Robin! Molodets!
Great idea, I may have to try it myself!!
Very Cute!! I'm sure the girls just loved seeing all the new bows and even the old ones put together by you. Look at you crafty lady!! Way to go!!
Just catching up on my blog reading...I love this hair clip board you made. I hope you don't mind if I copy the idea and do one myself. I am so tired of my girls hair drawer being such a mess and something like this would be so cute.
