Monkey Hairbow Holder

Last Summer I came across this cute little barrette holder while at a local craft fair.  It had a little monkey - perfect for my little monkey - and was the solution for our ever-growing hair bow selection.  At only a few dollars, I scooped one up.  Then not long ago I was exploring the aisles of Michael's and, lo and behold, came across the same little monkey figure as was on my daughter's bow holder.  I realized exactly how easy that little holder was.

Given my obsession with barrettes for my daughter's pigtails, I've been running out of space for hair bows.  So, I decided to make a little partner monkey to go along with our current one.  The result... two little monkeys hanging on the wall.  (The one with the yellow ribbon is the original.  The one with the pink ribbon and flower is the new one.)

The instructions are really simple.  I was able to do this in less than an hour while watching a movie with my husband.

MONKEY HAIRBOW HOLDER
Supplies:

• Wooden Figure
• Thicker Ribbon for holding barrettes (go for something with texture so that the barrettes can hold)
• Thinner Ribbon for loop
• Felt, preferably a neutral color that matches the wooden figure
• Hot Glue Gun
• Scissors

Directions:
(NOTE:  I'm trying a different way of posting instructions.  Let me know what you think.)

Once you hot glue the flower and button on, you are done.

Now just hang it up and admire your work.

And if you are wondering, yes the barrettes are arranged by color, with all the holiday bows at the end.  Have I mentioned that I have issues?
